‘Do you believe in spontaneous human combustion?’ Detective Inspector Keith Tremayne asked.
‘Not me. I’ve read about it. Who hasn’t?’ Sergeant Clare Yarwood answered.
‘I haven’t,’ Tremayne replied which did not surprise his sergeant. In the months they had been together, she had come to realise that he was a man who had little interest in the world. A cigarette in his mouth, a beer in his hand and a murder to solve was about the happiest she ever saw him, and even then, he could hardly be regarded as one of life’s most sociable. And as for reading? The occasional police report, an early morning newspaper, the back pages for the racing results.

ANOINTED Wes Snowden
After unexpectedly inheriting the British title of Lord of Mogford after the suspicious death of his father, investigative reporter Maxwell Muggs heads out to steamy Baton Rouge to battle with the despicable, self-anointed bishop of a cult-like church. Annabelle Muffet, a fiercely determined local reporter, convinces Max that the Church of the Exalted Enlightenment is not only rotten to the core but is literally getting away with legalized murder. As Max and his partner begin to peel away the many layers of deception, they are astounded and appalled at the depths of depravity they uncover within the mysterious Anointed Circle, an elite group of one hundred men loyal only to the bishop. In return for their loyalty, the Anointed Circle members participate in wanton, sex, drugs, and alcohol-fueled parties at the bishop's private retreat on Hidden Bayou. This thrilling, fast-paced mystery/suspense adventure is a genuine page-turner. Don't miss this real treat for mystery/suspense fans!
