Taken for a Ride

Hulbert Footner

Sinopsis

Dr. Portal brought a baffling case to Mme. Storey: Dr. Edgar McComb was found shot dead in his office. It attracted very little notice simply because there were no sensational circumstances. Now that a month has passed, it remained a mystery. The police had nothing to go on. No clues of any sort. Nobody saw the assailant enter or leave the building; no fingerprints were found in the room save those of the doctor himself. And even more baffling, no possible motive for the crime had been unearthed.

The Invisible Thread

Doug Powell

When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization’s PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud’s authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. 
On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic’s annual convention in America—and Graham’s graduate student is the one suspected of the murder.
