Book excerpt: "Detective Mihd'i Montgomery lives in Pine Bluff, Illinois, where he is a detective in the Pine Bluff police department. He is a member of the Bah'i Faith, and he is happily married with two children. Unlike most members of a police force, Detective Montgomery carries no gun. A rabbi in the Beth Shalom Synagogue has been murdered through a blow to the head with a heavy brass candleholder, and hateful graffiti has been spray-painted throughout the synagogue. As he begins interviewing people with connections to the killing, Detective Montgomery finds that different people had plenty of motives to murder the rabbi. Perhaps it was the real estate agent who was hoping to buy the synagogue if people moved out. Perhaps it was the jealous ex-boyfriend of the woman who was in love with the rabbi. Or perhaps it was white nationalist who has a history of posting racist flyers in Pine Bluff. With such a diversity of different suspects, Detective Montgomery must move quickly to pinpoint the suspect if he is to keep the synagogue, the town, and his family out of harm's way"--

Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become."--Publisher's description.

Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, Dust and Shadow recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters, while testing the limits of their strength in a fight to protect the women of London, Scotland Yard, and the peace of the city itself.
