He had only been gone a few minutes…   His life was supposed to have been the one that was under threat, his profession making him a target for many, but Edmund Burke returns to his car to find his young lover is the one to have been murdered.   The affair will be revealed if he reports the death, so he turns to an old friend for help.  The crime is discovered and suddenly it is more than just Burke’s reputation at stake.   Surely as a Member of the House of Commons he ought to be above suspicion?   But a series of clues including with the discovery of the body all seem to point straight to Burke. As witnesses begin to emerge, eager to tell their stories, things start to look even worse for him.   One particular man swears Burke is responsible.    Is he guilty?   He says not.  Somebody is lying and the truth needs to be uncovered.   A Grave Affair is a chilling thriller that leads you on a twisted path to the truth.   Nancy Bodington was born in 1912. Under the pen name of Shelley Smith, she wrote 15 crime and detective novels between 1942 and 1978.

TERESA, Vincent

Born in a mission in China, Lucy Waring now finds herself with 15 small children to feed. How she tackles this task gets her thrown into the grim prison of Chengfu, where she meets a man about to die. He asks her a cryptic riddle, and its mystery echoes through all that befalls Lucy in the months that follow, even when she is brought to England, trying to make a new life with the Gresham family. Unused to English ways, she is constantly in disgrace and is soon involved in the long and bitter feud between the Greshams and the family who live across the valley in the house called Moonrakers. In England Lucy discovers danger, romance, heartache, and mystery as strange events lead her to doubt her own senses. It is only when Lucy returns to China that she finds the answers to the mysteries of her past. It is there, at the moment when all seems lost, that she finally finds where her heart belongs.

Where did God come from? What do the bible stories really tell us? Who or what was Jesus Christ? This book challenges everything we think we know about the nature of religion. â€ The ancient fertility cult at the heart of Christianity â€ The living power of cultic rites and symbols â€ The sacred mushroom as the emblem and embodiment of divinity â€ The secret meaning of biblical myths â€ The language of religion that links us to our ancestors The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross sets out John Allegro's quest through a family tree of languages to find the truth about where Christianity came from.
