Coroner Sir John chases down a serial killer with a taste for Biblical justice in this suspenseful instalment in the Crowner John medieval mystery series, set in twelfth-century England. 1195. County coroner Sir John de Wolfe is summoned to inspect a corpse in Exeter’s cathedral precinct. Money-lender Aaron of Salisbury has been found dead, his head enveloped in a brown leather money-bag, a scrap of folded parchment clutched in his hand. On it is written: ‘And Jesus went into the temple and overthrew the tables of the money-changers.’ This is just the beginning of a strange series of murders in which an apt biblical text is left at the scene of the crime. Setting out to track down a literate and Bible-learned killer in an age when only one percent of the population can read or write, Sir John quickly deduces that he is looking for a priest. But with over twenty-five parish churches in Exeter, the pool of suspects includes more than a hundred clerics – and if Sir John doesn’t act fast, the homicidal clergyman may soon strike again . . .

Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
This is the first of a series, and will take several books to complete the story. This story takes place in 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico. An older man, a cowboy was caught by surprise, while out on the range. From out of nowhere, flying black rods, about ten inches long, quietly flew up and drilled a flesh sample out of the back of his hand. His trusted pony received the same treatment. When they tried to flee from them, they found out that the black rods were too swift for them. Soon the black rods caught up with them and injected some form of alien tranquilizer into both of them. In a matter of moments, they were rendered unconscious. The cowboy was teleported on to the master alien ship, which appeared to be two miles long and twenty or so stories high. These aliens are ruthless and are indifferent to humans, Later, in the novel, the aliens also abduct the cowboy's ex-wife, the cowboy and wife both being fairly simple-minded plain folks. The chief master alien was found to be extremely intellectual; he can speak over 3,000 languages and has studied Earth since before the antediluvian area. He meets his match with an old plain-spoken grandma and a flea-bitten old cowboy. This novel has a witty twist of comedy which adds a little spice to humanity. The two older couples were simple folk, but honest Injuns, so to speak, and the aliens realized this. Of course, the aliens had the upper hand at all times. The aliens claimed that they weren't interested in conquering Earth, it's far too primitive! Besides that, if they wanted to, they could have conquered Earth many years ago. The aliens think that they have run onto an amazing secret, which at all cost, they wish to retrieve. It might take some time, but they always get what they go after. The older couple had domestic problems most of their married lives. The ex-wife, granted, in the past had resorted to witchcraft to try and save her marriage, but it only ended in a disaster. Along with this alien problem, both of their lives are in turmoil, mostly because their lives were based on lies and deceit. The aliens monitored their household constantly, then put an implant into both of them. The aliens revealed some secrets that mankind has asked for many years -- secrets of the universe.

Book Description
The peace treaty between humans and shapeshifters was signed over a century ago. One of the consequences is that humans must provide shifters with young brides to give them heirs and ensure the survival of their species. Today, all over the world, special boarding schools take girls from orphanages and give them the most exquisite education, preparing them to become brides for the enemy. Sexy, curvy, and confident, Avelyn is one of those wild souls who will not be traded off as livestock. She's determined to do everything in her power to gain her freedom and build a new life far away from shapeshifters and what society expects of her. Alpha werewolf Max Blackmane is in search of a bride. When he comes to Alma Venus Boarding School, one of the best schools for shifter brides in the world, he is set on buying a young woman who would bring him political advantage. When he sees Avelyn, his plans are turned upside down. She's far from what his clan wants him to bring home, but he can't imagine his life without her. Avelyn uses every trick in the book to convince Max to buy another bride. It doesn't matter that his perfect body and smooth voice make her weak in the knees. She has a dream, and her dream does not include a wolf-shifter for a husband and a bunch of wolf pups clinging to her skirts.
