Book excerpt: The Mummy's Ransom by Fred Hunter A controversial exhibit of Chinchorro mummies is about to open in Chicago at Dolores Tower, the latest building by the equally controversial local developer Louie Dolores. The mummies - dating from 2000 to 7000 BC - are incredibly fragile, making their transportation and display very risky. Even worse, the pending exhibition is being protested by a group who regard the exploitation of the mummies to be desecration of their ancient dead, leading to both tension and excitement over the coming opening. Lucky for Chicago Police Detective Jeremy Ransom none of this has anything to do with him. He figures as long as he can keep his friend, the elderly Miss Emily Charters, away from the opening, then there won't be a murder and he won't have to get involved. But first there are reports that a mummy is moving around the exhibit at night, then there are death threats against the developer, and when one night, alone in the exhibit, Louie Dolores is attacked by one of the mummies, Ransom is assigned to find out what's going on. With the sharp wits and intelligence of Emily at his beck and call, Ransom has to sort out the truth in what could be his strangest assignment ever before the a volatile situation turns fatal.

Book excerpt: We all love our mothers. And our mothers love us back. There is little more unconditional love than that which a mother gives. Mothers love their disobedient and even criminal sons. In their mind, they can do no wrong. Mothers want to protect their children, usually more than they want to protect themselves. Are there mothers so determined to protect their sons from the risks and dangers that the wide world presents, that they would choose an astonishing solution? Would such a mother be willing to take her son and regress him back to infancy, back to a life of no cares, no worries and and no responsibilities? Such a world would pose far fewer risks to a teenage boy on the cusp of adulthood than venturing out on his own. Amanda is such a woman. Her son is about to strike out on his own and he is woefully unprepared. He is small for his age, immature and ignorant of the dangers outside his home. And so she takes on the challenge of turning Daniel back into a baby. And she has one obvious entry point. Daniel had wet his bed until only a few years prior. It would be easy to start that process again and then, the solution was obvious. Nappies and Plastic pants. The rest would follow on.
