Jessica Fletcher investigates a mysterious manuscript with deadly consequences in the latest entry in this USA Today bestselling series... Jessica Fletcher has had plenty to worry about over her storied career, both as a bestselling novelist and amateur sleuth. But she never had any reason to worry about her longtime publisher, Lane Barfield, who also happens to be a trusted friend. When mounting evidence of financial malfeasance leads to an FBI investigation of Lane, Jessica can't believe what she's reading. So when Barfield turns up dead, Jessica takes on the task of proving Barfield's innocence--she can't fathom someone she's known and trusted for so long cheating her. Sure enough, Jessica's lone wolf investigation turns up several oddities and inconsistencies in Barfield's murder. Jessica knows something is being covered up, but what exactly? The trail she takes to answer that question reveals something far more nefarious afoot, involving shadowy characters from the heights of power in Washington. At the heart of Jessica's investigation lies a manuscript Barfield had intended to bring out after all other publishers had turned it down. The problem is that manuscript has disappeared, all traces of its submission and very existence having been wiped off the books. With her own life now in jeopardy, Jessica refuses to back off and sets her sights on learning the contents of that manuscript and what about it may have led to several murders. Every step she takes brings her closer to the truth of what lies in the pages, as well as the person who penned them.

The International Mystery Double Blind: The Icelandic Manuscript Murders is a wild ride through the cultural landscape of Iceland, from rural farmsteads to icy fjords to the high-tech world of DNA forensics. A young boy disappears in the chill of North Iceland. Twenty years later, a mysterious poem lands on the desk of his twin sister Brynja, a forensic geneticist, and rekindles her hopes that her brother might be alive. As Brynja unravels the clues, more poems arrive, each bearing dire consequences for those who receive them: the guard of the medieval manuscript of Icelandic sagas that may have the answer to her burning question, the prime minister's secretary, the local pastor. Is the poet out to stop Brynja from finding her brother and shut down her access to the DNA database? Or is the verse maker simply a psychopath copycat killer? Fighting the visual auras that have plagued her since childhood and now threaten everything she holds dear, Brynja must summon the strength to navigate the twisted labyrinth of the poet's mind and confront the dark secret buried in her family's past.

Harry Kramer and Maggie Parker are quintessential New York City used and rare book dealers who love nothing more than tending to their bookstore and indulging their passion for the written word. An elderly woman approaches them with an unsigned, yellowed manuscript that she claims was written by her husband who mysteriously vanished some fifty years prior. The problem is a book by another author, very much alive, has just been published—and it’s identical to her husband’s manuscript. The old woman is convinced that this living author stole the manuscript and that he holds the answer to her husband’s disappearance. When she asks Harry and Maggie to prove her husband was the true author, they unexpectedly find themselves thrust into the role of literary sleuths. After their client is found murdered, Harry and Maggie are determined to find out who is so threatened by the manuscript and, more to the point, why? Unearthing the dark past of the author leads to the unraveling of a vicious scheme of blackmail and money laundering that could expose a family secret that one person will go to any length to ensure is never revealed.

All men were born pure but it is the laws and concepts that they are made to live by that make them vile. The book Blind Vision discusses the relationship that exists between religion, society and the state. It analyses the common beliefs, concepts and the laws that govern and shape societal and individual ideas; it looks into why people have varying widespread beliefs and how these beliefs affect them in the short and long run. With so much uncertainty about the origin of the Bible and its authenticity in our present day, it is difficult for some people to give Biblical perspectives any recognition. Blind Vision intends to restore the Bible's credit. It discusses the points to be taken into consideration when studying the Bible. The origin of the confusion and the glitches in various translations are also pointed out. Scientists teach evolution in schools and sometimes, both the scientists and their students go to school and church. The controversy resulting from the contradictory ideas between science and the Bible gives inquisitive members of society a latent chaotic mind. Without adequate answers provided, inquiring individuals exist in a state of order in disorder. In the confusion, they come up with, or accept concepts predominantly based on their logical thought and what they can prove. With respect to the fact that the world is made up of numerous communities, each having either similar or different beliefs about life and the supernatural forces of nature, an analysis is made on some of the common claims. There are an uncountable number of theories about the beginning of life on earth, the origin of the world, man, the law of God and those of man. Blind Vision scrutinizes these speculations explaining why they should or should not be given any credit. The similarities between the account of the creation as written in the Bible and those postulated by the discoveries of scientists are evaluated, and a conclusion is drawn indicating the most realistic perspective. This is strictly the Biblical and scientific perspective.
