Summary

Stella Hunter is an obsessive reader of all myths and legends. She and her long-time boyfriend, Carter, go to visit their old friend and priest at his church. There the journey begins when Carter sees an old Oriental couple pray, then leave the worship decades younger than when they walked in minutes before. Their story surrounds a bizarre and poorly chiseled granite statue delivered to the church. But is it just an ugly statue? They all too soon discover it is an emissary out of folklore legend, tempting and granting wishes, with an unfortunate trade-off for its victims.  
The new world order is getting ready to rule the world.  Racing into action it quickly becomes clear for the retired FBI contractor, Carter, and his gregarious partner, the mythology expert, Dr. Stella Hunter, that the past is not over for them, as unsolved mysteries become key in finding the truth about what happened in the Detroit cathedral.

    As co-owners of Eastport's beloved waterfront bakery, The Chocolate Moose, Jake and Ellie know their customers expect them to cream the competition. But they're really just in it for fun, hoping to get Jake's daughter-in-law baking again. Those plans collapse when fearsome local curmudgeon Alvin Carter is murdered, and every crumb of evidence points to Tiptree family friend—and all-around sweet guy—Billy Breyer. Billy's sisters beg Jake and Ellie to prove his innocence. After all, lots of folks had gone sour on Alvin—the only thing the retired lawyer liked better than bilking widows was swindling orphans, and several victims of his long-ago schemes still lived in Eastport. But just as the ladies begin sifting through the suspects, a series of grass fires blaze across the island, cutting off access to the mainland. Could someone be trying to hide the truth about Alvin's murder? Now, Jake and Ellie will need all their courage—and an extra dash of that down-east Maine stubbornness—to sniff out the real killer before anyone else gets burned...

    Death due to mob lynching on suspicion of witchcraft is still occasionally heard from the underdeveloped corners of India. The trigger to such tragedies is rooted in illiteracy and superstitions. The deadly vortex of power games and greed for money victimize many helpless women. This story centers around one such victim where your favorite fictional social crusader Anilikha strives to unravel the truth behind a sinister conspiracy. 
    Anilikha met with a tribal woman named Sita, coaxed by a curious child named Munna – an ardent follower of Sita, at a remote tribal nook in Jharkhand in India. The woman startled Anilikha by displaying a puppet show where she infused supernatural power into her puppets to bring the show alive. Anilikha started to ponder whether that magical spell was only a game of hallucination or whether it entailed some hidden message. 
    The story is a heady concoction of a ghostly supernatural presented in a scientific tempo – the hallmark of Author - Abhijnan Roychowdhury. Tune in to yet another racy thriller bordering the supernatural from "My StoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series.
