  Just before Passover, the corpse of a young Christian boy is found drained of blood in front of the Belz Great Synagogue in Jerusalem. The police find no murder weapon. No one claims responsibility. 
   
   
   
  Someone leaks to the Israeli press that the boy's death is a ritual murder—a blood libel. The public is in an uproar, demanding that the security forces take action immediately. Intelligence Agent Maya Rimon is convinced that the boy's bizarre murder is part of a larger conspiracy. She suspects that the arrival in Israel of three members of the Aryan Vanguard, a rightwing American neo-Nazi group, is no coincidence. She begins searching for the common link. 
   
   
   
  Maya convinces her boss, Roni Qattawi, and Police Chief Inspector, Sarit Levine, that the Aryan Vanguard are planning to stage an attack very soon. But the three of them can't agree on which site is the target. Roni and Sarit argue for the Western Wall or the Knesset. Maya deduces that the target will be Yad Vashem, Israel's national Holocaust Museum. 
   
   
   
  When the Aryan Vanguard strikes at the museum. Maya is waiting inside. Alone.

Yet even with his support, doing so seems impossible. But then a strange woman begins to haunt her dreams, and Amberlin can no longer ignore her calling. // The first book in W. Bradford Swift's trilogy, Amberlin: Divine Destiny is a rich and character-driven paranormal mystery.

  The Phantom Coach - A true...

  Amelia Edwards

  Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
   
  In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
   
  Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
   
  In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
   
  To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
   
  After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.  
   
  In this supernatural tale Edwards constructs superb characters that, as the tension rises, leads to an ending laced with revelation and fear.
