Pages : 466
Book Description
Nina Reilly takes on the most dangerous and difficult case of her career in New York Times bestselling author Perri O’Shaughnessy’s latest thriller. An ingenious blend of forensic science, history, and gripping suspense, Unlucky in Law pits the tough but compassionate attorney against the most unbeatable adversary of all: the law. Nina has just received a last-minute call from her old boss and mentor in Monterey County, California, where she is enjoying the breathtaking scenery and spending time with her boyfriend, P.I. Paul van Wagoner. Klaus Pohlmann is in desperate straits and begs Nina to take over a seemingly unwinnable case: A luckless two-time felon named Stefan Wyatt has robbed a grave and made off with the long-buried bones of a Russian émigré. When he is caught and arrested, further devastating evidence found in the grave suggests that Stefan is guilty of a far more deadly crime. A young woman, a classmate of Stefan’s, has been killed, and he is accused of her murder. Now, as a result of California’s Third Strike law, Wyatt is looking at twenty-five years to life whether he’s convicted of grand theft or murder. Either way, he’s in big trouble. With her client’s blood DNA found in the dead woman’s apartment, Nina faces an uphill battle. Suspecting that her hapless client has been set up, Nina brings in a brilliant forensic pathologist who comes up with a startling theory about the case that could rewrite a crucial page of European history. As the evidence mounts against Nina’s client, Paul launches his own investigation into the shadowy past of the two-decades-old skeleton. But long-held secrets nearly get him killed and reveal a more insidious evil at work—and an extraordinary story dating back to tsarist Russia and the Romanov court. As Wyatt edges closer to the unluckiest verdict of his young life, Nina makes an astounding discovery that just might save her client—or expose a killer who could bury them all. Brilliantly imagined and compulsively readable, Unlucky in Law is a beguiling mix of wrenching drama and gripping action. And it is Perri O’Shaughnessy’s most accomplished novel to date.

Rory Chasen, manager of the Lucky Dog Boutique in Destiny, California, hopes her new line of good-luck doggy toys will be a hit, especially the stuffed rabbits with extra-large feet. The timing of the line's debut proves ill-fated, though, as several local shops—including Rory's—are ransacked and vandalized with spilled salt and other unlucky charms. The most likely culprit is disgruntled real estate agent Flora Curtival, whose issues with the town give her a motive. But after Flora is murdered and one of Rory's toy rabbits is found with the body, Rory needs all the luck she can get while trying to determine just who killed the superstitious vandal.

Pages : 402
Book Description
The numbers in the King James Holy Bible have significant meaning that follow the number throughout the scripture. The number 13 has always been an 'unlucky' number. The number 13 is the number that represents Satan, evil, wickedness, devils, and everything vile that is connected to them. This book is a chronological account of the number of 'Rebellion' in the bible from Genesis to Revelation.The word "THIRTEENTH" is found to be the thirteenth word in a bible verse only one time at: Esther 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, ...The words thirteen and thirteenth appears 26 (2x13) times in the bible.There are 13 famines recorded in scripture.There are 13 kings recorded from David to Zedekiah who went into Babylonian captivity. 2nd Chron. 36:10The phrase: 'the old serpent', 'thousand years', 'Jannes/Jambres' have 13 letters.The Antichrist (13 letters), who we know to be 'Judas Iscariot; (13 letters), is the one who 'betrayed Jesus' (13 letters).He is the coming to rule over 'New World Order' (13 letters) that is being set up currently by the globalists.The Antichrist 'is the man of sin' (13 letters) spoken of by Jesus in the gospels, and his final abode will be 'the lake of fire' (13 letters). A sample of the Revelation 13:18 (a 13 with 3x6), the 66th book of the bible; the 13th chapter; and the 18th verse; here we get the "number of a man"; 'the Antichrist', which is 666; the unholy trinity of man. The word "beast" in sole reference to the person of 'the Antichrist' (13 letters), himself, appears a total of 36 (6x6) times in Revelation. No coincidence.The address 13:18 (13+3x6) added together is: 1+3+1+8=13; and 13+18=31 a 13 reversed; 'the Antichrist' is covered over with 6s, 13s and their multiples. Another infamous 13:18 is found in John's gospel (see); John is also the author of the book of Revelation; and he records Jesus, at the last supper, quoting Psa. 41:9 and Jesus says: "He that eateth bread with me hath lift up his heel against me." a direct reference to the "betrayer" 'Judas Iscariot' (13 letters) and the quote just happens to be 13 words in length; see the nuggets in John 13 of this work to see other such "coincidences" as the scoffers would say. In Genesis 3:15 we have the first recorded prophecy in the bible of the Devil's seed 'the Antichrist' (13 letters), and the address of Gen. 3:15 is (3+15=18, 666).The only use in the bible of the capital "S" Six; is found in verse 18; and it personifies the number as you would capitalize a proper name.
