Capture of the Twin Dragon

An envelope with $2000! Where did it come from? Jack and Jenny Carlton are on their way to Hong Kong again in this third Jack and Jenny Mystery. As they make plans to share Chinese New Year with their friends, Ruth and Tim Chen, Jack says, "...we don't go looking for robbers and smugglers. They are just there, and we happen to get involved. Honest, we don't even try to find them!" and the twins assure their parents this will just be a friendly visit with the Chens. Although they promise to avoid trouble, their parents know better. It seems trouble gravitates to the twins like flies to honey. That is just what happens when an accidental discovery lands them in the middle of a "Mystery of the Counterfeit Money."

Hijacked

The tree on the left was smaller, but beautiful in a different way. Its slender leaves were green and differed little from any other leaf. It was the fruit, however, that fascinated the woman. It consisted of shiny gold spheres that reflected sunlight the way water reflected her face. She wondered what it would be like to taste a fruit as beautiful and shiny as this, but remembered that she would never know. Moving closer to the tree, she reached out her hand and touched a fruit. Dr. Robert Wetmore has written a compelling Biblical Fiction about Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden and after the fall. The Two Trees is his first book in the Promise Series, which follows the line of the Promise that God gives to Adam and Eve in the Garden in Genesis 3:15 about a coming Savior that will crush Satan.
