Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This gorgeously crafted, shudderingly dark novel blends the genres of psychological thriller and murder mystery”—from the Shamus Award-winning author (Naples Florida Weekly). Introducing former death-row inmate turned private investigator Franky Dast in the first of an intriguing crime noir series. Having spent eight years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, Franky Dast now works as an investigator for the Justice Now Initiative, seeking to help others in the same situation. But when he learns that Bill Higby, the detective whose testimony helped convict him, is facing his own murder charge, Franky is torn. Should he help the man he hates more than any other, the man who remains convinced of Franky’s guilt to this day? As Franky delves further, he comes to realize that in order to prove Higby’s innocence, he must also prove his own. Unless he finds out what happened that fateful night eight years before, the night 15-year-old Duane Bronson and his 13-year-old brother were murdered, Franky will always be under suspicion, and the real killer will remain free. What really happened that dark, wet night on Monument Road? And is Franky prepared for the shocking truth? “Like your noir pitch-black? So does Wiley.”—Kirkus Reviews “Engrossing . . . Readers will want to see more of the complex Dast, who’s both fragile and strong, cynical and naïve.”—Publishers Weekly “Masterfully setting in motion his main character’s goals and the array of blocking forces, the author carefully orchestrates the larger and smaller revelations, the successes and failures along Franky’s path, into a thundering coda of suspense.”—Naples Florida Weekly
Download or read book The Gospel of Leroy written by Saint Franky and published by B.E. Publishing. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quite possibly the most controversial, not to mention humorous book of faith ever written. The Gospel of Leroy scripted by an individual only identified as 'Saint Franky' chronicles the life and times of 'Leroy', the 'brother' of Jesus. Born in Bethlehem, albeit Pennsylvania, a distinction largely unnoticed by Leroy, this modern day gospel attempts to capture the gospel's essence from a uniquely opposite perspective. Although Leroy would be birthed in a manger or garage, it wasn't because there was no room, but rather because Bubba aka Joseph had no money. Of course, this would not prevent Bubba from quipping unto Mary in passing, Yo babe, if anyone asks why the boy was born in a manger, I mean garage, instead of inside the inn, I'm just gonna say because there was no room. 'Cause quite frankly, it ain't none of anybody's business if you know what I mean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is a misnomer. It is not an attempt to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is intended to be a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism." The reader will learn some basic principles that can be used to engage their arguments. Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism - a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books. Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. There are thousands who have had their lives impacted in a powerful way by the elder Francis Schaeffer. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.
