Buckle up and plunge in! -Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It MattersMurder at Stonehenge is a rollicking mystery that skillfully moves the reader to and from the spiritual, the secular, the mystical and the bizarre.

If you want to know more about the history of Stonehenge and at the same time enjoy a wild and unpredictable mystery, this is a book for you. -Andrew Weil, MD, author of Spontaneous Happiness and Healthy AgingDaniel Fishinghawk takes on another seemingly insolvable case, this time at the site of one of the world's most enduring mysteries.

With parallel narratives set on Rapanui and in England, there is double the action and intrigue as Hawk and Mahina struggle against an evil spiritual force and the equally dangerous forces of human greed and violence. There are also elements of humour as Hawk engages with English eccentricities, including the use of language. No doubt something Conrad encountered himself during his fieldwork research to Stonehenge and other ancient sites in the United Kingdom. -Dr. Roy Smith, Course Leader, MA Intl.

Yucatán Is Murder, sixth in the Ben Candidi Mystery series, is a hard-boiled science-driven mystery-thriller set in Mexico and featuring science- and tech-savvy amateur sleuths.In the coastal scrubland of Yucatán, Mexico, circling vultures lead vacationing scientist, Ben Candidi, to a corpse. As in an ancient Mayan sacrificial rite, the victim's chest was cut open and heart removed. Ben had fit the vacation around the public health project of his soul mate, Rebecca Levis. But plans change drastically when Rebecca recognizes the face as B'alam Chuc, a student at her host university. Why was B'alam dressed as a peasant, and what is the meaning of the hieroglyph writings found in his pocket? The police insist it was a robbery, and the social welfare bureaucracy does little to help the traditional Mayan parents, who speak no Spanish. When B'alam's eight-year-old brother, Ichik, asks for help, Ben's sixth investigation swings into action. As Ben and Rebecca use their knowledge of Mayan history and culture to interpret clues from the neglected crime scene, the picture of an evil and debauched criminal conspiracy emerges. The truth about B'alam may come at a high price.
