So to celebrate all things good about reading and books, you
can win 2 fascinating mysteries by Suzanne
Arruda, plus an anthology from the Mystery Writers of
America group!
On a photography assignment in the northern territory of
Mount Marsabit, Jade and her friends Beverly and Avery
Dunbury hope to capture on film the area's colossal
elephants. Instead they discover the mutilated remains of
four elephants and one man. The authorities suspect
Abyssinian poachers and raiders in search of ivory and
slaves. But Jade has her own suspicions, which are only
heightened when she discovers a cache of German rifles
hidden in a nearby cave. And when Jelani, the Kikuyu boy
accompanying her, is captured by slave traders, Jade must
join forces with handsome American pilot Sam Featherstone to
rescue one of her own.
On safari for a Hollywood film shoot about King Solomon's
lost treasure, Jade is to assist a troupe of American
actors, some of whom are keen on finding the real treasure.
Jade cannot wait to photograph Mount Kilimanjaro up
close-and contemplate her beloved Sam's marriage
proposal...
Then, on the eve of their departure, the film's financial
backer is killed by a native man who then commits suicide.
As the group heads out, an uneasy Sam remains behind to
investigate. Meanwhile, several hoaxes and a fatal curse
convince Jade that a killer is at work among them.
As Sam races to save her, Jade is tested as never before, by
mysterious supernatural forces-and by a vengeful murderer...
From the Salem witch trials to Depression-era Chicago, from
the exclusive country-clubs of the wealthy to the depths of
today's toughest ghettos, this riveting collection traces
the triumphs, defeats, and temptations of two opposing
sides: those sworn to defend the accused, and those tasked
with prosecuting them. They are the stories of lawyers under
pressure, of criminals facing the needle, and of the
heartbroken families--of both the victim and the
defendant--who hope for justice from the back of the
courtroom, and who sometimes take it into their own hands.
This tantalizing collection proves that after the crime is
over, the real drama begins.
