  As fortune would have it, you have just stumbled across an off-the-leash, unbridled small compendium of outrageous stories called “Instant Ancestors.” Thanks to the lop-sided imagination of author Russell Shuler, you’ll meet a cast of characters, complete with a fabulous portrait (and subtle story clues contained therein), caught in every conceivable slant of shenanigan and predicament.Stick your toe in, and you’ll experience “the long hard stare” of Cletus McHaggis as he faces off with the “devastating beauty” of twins Ismerelda and Desdomena, circling one another in an ancient game of “dupe and roll.” You’ll follow the conjurings of Gloriah Jellylooloo, the “Memory Catalyst,” who brings cinema to events thought to be long buried and those yet to occur. Observe Smabdolem Ik as he encounters a troop of dwarf strippers with a dark side. And try to stay abreast with the show-stopping ideas of exotic fan dancer Izzy Ibrahim and her creative partner (and son) Shelley. All this flabbergastery, and more, is now available between the covers of “Instant Ancestors.”The Genesis of Instant AncestorsIt’s been said many times that you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your relatives. I believed that to be true until, not long ago, I came across a shoe box crammed with family portraits taken roughly a hundred years ago in a favorite antique store. The stall proprietor included an index card with the scribbled broadside: “Instant Ancestors!” It went on to say that with these pictures, you could conjure up a long-lost relative from God knows where famous for such and such, and no one would be wiser. To be truthful, the idea appealed to my lop-sided, passionate sense of humor, so I bought the box of photographs and began imagining the personal chronicles of these precious folks who had been relegated to the dustbin of history.

  Months after a devastating discovery about the murder of her family, Leonora Spencer is still struggling to cope. She has kept her distance from Scotland Yard—and from Detective Inspector Jasper Reid—just as she has vowed to do. But when a bomb kills a young constable outside police headquarters, and a prominent suffragist is wrongly fitted for the crime, Leo is compelled to prove the woman's innocence—even if it means working with the detective inspector she no longer trusts.Weathering Leo's silent fury has been more of a hardship than Jasper would care to admit—especially to her. He's muddled through by putting his head down at the Yard and focusing on his demanding caseload. But when the persistent morgue assistant begins to interfere in another detective's high-profile inquiry, Jasper is torn between warning her off as he should, or lending a hand.As ties between the bombing and a seemingly unrelated murder case Jasper is investigating begin to emerge, so does a connection to one of London's most dangerous organized crime syndicates. Leo and Jasper's hunt for the true mastermind behind the bombing plot has drawn unwanted attention from the East End gang, along with a dire warning: Solving this murder will come with deadly consequences.

  For nearly two millennia, the Ordo Silentii-the Order of Silence-has erased gospels, letters, and histories that threatened the Church's authority. Until now, it has succeeded. 
  When Dr. Susan Hale uncovers an ancient scroll in the hills of Provence, she and historian Alister Duram are thrust into a perilous chase across Europe and the Middle East. The scroll, written in the voices of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, tells a story that could shake the very foundations of Christianity-and alter the world itself. 
  From the Amalfi cliffs to ancient vaults beneath the Vatican, the Ordo Silentii will stop at nothing to silence them before the truth can be revealed.
