Dyer's Deception The: A Cozy...

Hang Nguyen

🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Vatson is hosting a natural dye workshop when the workshop's wealthy sponsor—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature madder root dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's business contracts contain hidden clauses about color patent theft. With her studio shut down and the dyeing community in turmoil, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful conspiracy. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome forensic chemist analyzing pH levels, Indy uncovers a scheme involving dye formula theft, color patent infringement, and a plot to sabotage natural dyers. From suspicious colorfastness tests that reveal chemical tampering to plant material that doesn't match the growing region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more vibrant than any synthetic color. With the natural dye symposium approaching and the real color thief still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the evidence before her own business bleeds out completely.

Tesla and the Pyramid

Jenner Brown

Tesla and the Pyramid is a propulsive, action-packed technothriller that reveals undisclosed frontier science and real-world hidden archaeology, blurring the line between fact and fiction like never before.
Fact: when Nikola Tesla died, US intelligence seized his final research—an explosive breakthrough so powerful and surreal it was classified for eighty years, becoming the foundation for decades of secret government black projects.
But this isn't the first time humanity has discovered this science.
★★★★★ — "A masterful blend of Heinlein, Gibson, and Brody." —Amazon
★★★★★ — "Every bit as believable as it is otherworldly." —Goodreads
★★★★★ — "A mischievous, glorious, exuberant ride!" —Amazon
Columbia University professor Tony Koviak thinks he knows the ancient world...until a rogue CIA analyst crashes into his life, armed with classified research that rewrites human origins. Together, they must decode Tesla’s final gift to the world: a reality-shattering physics that the genius perfected during his decade of isolation.
Teaming up with a maverick geophysicist, they race to unlock Tesla’s mind-bending technology and expose a global conspiracy stretching back to the last Ice Age. Pursued relentlessly across continents by intelligence agencies, hostile governments, and a hidden cabal determined to keep mankind in the dark, they uncover an impossible truth linking Tesla’s masterpiece to a long-forgotten past.
Winners don’t write history. They erase it.
But Tesla has left behind an unthinkable way to fight back.
*All archaeology, mythology, symbols, locations, organizations, and speculative scalar physics are real and accurate in this story.
