Synopsis

PEACE AND WAR, FRIEND AND FOE, LIFE AND DEATH… A PERILOUS JOURNEY HOME!
Fahimah Banaz has been wrongly held in a CIA "black site" for over five years. Now, as cases of unexplained deaths—marked by rapid decomposition—are cropping up across the U.S., Homeland Security is willing to bend any rule to find the source of the deadly infection, even if it means resurrecting a "dead" Iraqi biochemist. Fahimah's sister risked her life trying to destroy the super-microbe that causes the flesh-eating disease. Fahimah tried, too, but landed in prison.
Austyn Newman was sent to gain the cooperation of the scientist. Arriving in Afghanistan, he recognizes that the CIA has been holding the wrong sister all these years. They need her, but how will he gain her trust?
With time running out, Austyn must help Fahimah find her way through war-ravaged Iraq and Kurdistan…for salvation lies at the end of her journey home.
Includes Reading Group Discussion questions!

    "The Fascinating Problem Of Uncle Meleager's Will" is a short story from Dorothy Sayers' book, Lord Peter Views the Body.This is apparently the first Lord Peter story; it was originally published in Pearson's Magazine (July 1925).When old Meleager Finch dies, he leaves two wills: the first grants his fortune to the conservative Primrose League, while the second leaves everything to his niece, Hannah, a young, serious socialist. He writes a letter to Hannah explaining that this second will has been hidden somewhere, and that her only chance of finding it is "by the exercise of a sustained frivolity."Lord Peter, his sister Mary, and his valet Bunter travel with Hannah to help her find the missing will. They discover that Meleager was a crossword puzzle fiend, and find a trove of puzzles he had written, including one with no accompanying grid. When Peter falls into the impluvium, he discovers that the missing grid is the tiled floor of the fountain itself, and solving it reveals the location of the missing will.The story is notable for containing an entire crossword puzzle in which all the clues are rhyming couplets (or quatrains).

    Two weeks into the Apocalypse . . . and the world has gone red. 
     
     
     
    It's been a long couple of weeks since the power shut off, and life is only getting harder. Much harder. A quiet resignation has set in. The power is not coming back anytime soon. The last holdouts of shelter-in-place are emerging from their doomed homes to find they've missed the boat on prepping for THE END. Desperation follows. 
     
     
     
    And the world itself seems broken. Cities burn and throw their ash high into the atmosphere, painting the sky red. Libraries are torched. Food stores totally looted. Homes invaded. Every abandoned car has been picked clean. 
     
     
     
    Frank starts his day in the heart of this disaster, far from the calm of his quiet street. But home is where he must go, since every scrap of intel he's picked up suggests the forces of darkness have their greedy eyes on the region's last refuge of the old America, Clownfish Cove.

    The past day is all that she can remember. Her identity, her entire life up until the moment she woke up Veil, Vermont, has been forgotten. No one in town knows who she is (or no one's saying). Without a clue as to her real name, she's adopted a new one: Violet. 
      
    While she waits for the sheriff's department to uncover something about her past, Violet has little to do—until she meets an outspoken young Pagan woman. Someone is stalking and terrorizing the witch. Someone persistent…
