Book excerpt: Some things are best left undisturbed . . . In the countryside of Victorian England, Edward Atherton, rector of Thornham St. Stephen, has taken on the arduous task of restoring the ancient church. But he should never have meddled with the tomb that lay beneath the church’s crumbling walls. The moment the workman raised the tomb lid, an unspeakable horror escaped. At a loss to explain the unsettling noises and frightening visions that begin to plague the church, Atherton calls upon fellow antiquarian and Cambridge professor Richard Asquith to help investigate the strange events that began in the wake of the tomb’s disturbance. The two discover tantalizing hints of whom and what may have been laid to rest in the tomb, but the unforeseen circumstances force Asquith to give up his inquiries and leave the small village of Thornham behind. Asquith tries to put the frightening experiences behind him and focus on his new wife and family. But death and disappearances abound, and Asquith soon has no choice but to confront the darkness that has followed him from that ancient church into his own home.

Download or read book The Girl on the Stairs written by Barry Ernest and published by Barry Ernest. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 22, 1963, a young Victoria Elizabeth Adams stood behind a fourth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. She watched as John Kennedy was murdered in the streets below. Then, with a co-worker in tow, she ran down the back stairs of the building in order to get outside and determine what had happened. At that precise moment, her life changed forever. Her actions posed serious problems for the Warren Commission, already grappling with its agenda of naming Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin. If Miss Adams was telling the truth, then she had descended those stairs at the same time Oswald would have been on them as he made his escape from the sixth floor sniper's nest. Yet Miss Adams saw no one. And even though the stairs were old, wooden, and creaky under any weight, she heard no one either. When Miss Adams was called to testify before a Commission attorney, she was quickly discredited, humiliated, and eventually branded a liar. Behind closed doors she pleaded with the government to conduct time tests of her actions if she was felt to have been inaccurate. She begged the government to question her co-workers, particularly the woman who had accompanied her down the stairs, if she was not believed. Instead, she was ignored. And so, knowing the truth of what she had done and now fearing for her life because of it, she went into hiding and became willing to die with that secret knowledge. Intrigued by what little was available about Miss Adams, the author went in search of her. It took him 35 years to eventually find this elusive witness. As his journey progressed, many questions arose about the assassination while others were put to rest. And in the end, the truth of what Miss Adams did was finally discovered. This is an important story, unique in this mess that continues to surround Kennedy's death. It is a story that has been buried for decades. It is an account the government did not want you to hear, and actually fabricated evidence in order to keep you from hearing it. Now, the truth can be told.

Book excerpt: A thief in debt. A kingdom in crisis. Her arrest could change everything for both. Talented thief and wind-spinner Emerald has been stealing heirlooms to pay her apprentice debt to the master thief. But a chance run-in with her childhood crush, now one Knight Captain Owyn Tramaine, leads to her arrest and the revelation that she is, in fact, Lady Keira Azfarran—the eldest daughter of the noble Azfarran line. With her secret revealed and a new debt to pay to the Kingdom in penance for her crimes, Emerald must find a new way to achieve her dream of freedom. While serving as a royal maid, she is offered an opportunity to pay her debt faster by spying for the throne. But when Emerald discovers a plot against the Queen’s life, the future of the Kingdom is suddenly at stake. Battling her desire to run with her wish to be truly free, Emerald faces a bully from her past, confronts her conflicting emotions for Owyn, and endures the scorn of her family and the courts. But if the Queen’s life is taken, the Kingdom could descend into civil war, making these irritations the least of Emerald’s problems. Emerald must discover who is plotting against the Queen and why before time for both her and the kingdom runs out.
