Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morton Farrier was no longer at the top of his game. His forensic genealogy career was faltering and he was refusing to accept any new cases, preferring instead to concentrate on locating his own elusive biological father. Yet, when a particular case presents itself, that of finding the family of a woman abandoned in the midst of the Battle of Britain, Morton is compelled to help her to unravel her past. Using all of his genealogical skills, he soon discovers that the case is connected to The Spyglass File—a secretive document which throws up links which threaten to disturb the wrongdoings of others, who would rather its contents, as well as their actions, remain hidden forever. This is the fifth book in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story. Further information, and a FREE prequel story for the series, is available from the author's website at nathandylangoodwin.com

Book excerpt: There once was a king who ruled over a darkened kingdom. Crops were planted and then failed, houses were built and then neglected, people were impoverished and dispirited. But when a traveler arrives at the crumbling palace, he shows the monarch his kingdom through the lens of an enchanted spyglass -- a spyglass that shows him his kingdom not as it is, but as it could be. The king's imagination is ignited by the spark of faith, and with faith comes hope and change. By sharing his vision and inspiring his subjects to work alongside him, the king restores his land to glory. Faith is at the heart of master storyteller Richard Paul Evans's moving new fable, which is brought to life by the rich, magnificent oil paintings of artist Jonathan Linton. Together, author and artist have created a powerful story that will inspire readers young and old to see their world through the eyes of faith.

Caught spying for the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, she flees in a panic but a deadly encounter derails her escape. On the run in a city burning with anti-American hate, and double-crossed by her handler, she becomes a fugitive with nowhere to hide. Thomas Chadwick, inspector for the U.N.'s International Maritime Authority, investigates a purported act of piracy on a cargo ship off the coast of South America. When he stumbles upon the CIA agent who ended his intelligence career a decade earlier, Chadwick suspects the agency's hand is behind the failed attempt to sink the cargo vessel. Exploring dark corners where his light is not welcome, he forces his way into the center of a covert operation spinning out of control. The Central Intelligence Agency is desperate for a major operational victory. An obscure agency department has arranged one in the form of a risky sting operation. The target: a Taiwanese billionaire crime lord. The prize: weapons of mass destruction. But before it can be gift-wrapped for a White House eager to restore credibility with America's allies, the sting operation rips apart at the seams. Lexi Gant and Thomas Chadwick find themselves fighting for their lives alone, outnumbered, and sacrificed by corrupt American intelligence officials. With a sinister triad closing in and nuclear weapons changing hands before them, Lexi Gant and Thomas Chadwick are the only two people who can expose the truth, if they can escape the reach of their own graves.
