Legendary literary game-maker Garrison Griswold is back in action—this time with “Unlock the Rock.” For his latest game, Griswold has partnered with the famous--and famously reclusive--mystery writer Errol Roy to plan an epic escape room challenge on Alcatraz Island. Emily and James are eager to participate, but the wave of fame they are riding from their recent book-hunting adventures makes them a target. Threatening notes, missing items, and an accident that might not have been an accident have the duo worried that someone is trying to get them out of the game at any cost. When Emily’s brother is caught red-handed and blamed for all the wrong doings, Emily is certain Matthew is being framed. With Matthew’s record on the line, Emily and James can’t afford to leave this mystery uncracked. Christy Ottaviano Books

Book excerpt: “Flour. Sheep. Coins. Wheat. Jesus never abandoned the familiarity of His time because what He had to say was so celestial or deep. Instead, He took advantage of what people already understood. In doing so, He didn’t just leave a way of salvation for us, but also a pattern of teaching to follow. This alone was my inspiration for how I chose to write Greek Word Study.”—author Chris Palmer In a follow-up to his highly acclaimed book Letters from Jesus: Studies from the Seven Churches of Revelation, the Rev. Chris Palmer has written Greek Word Study: 90 Ancient Words That Unlock Scripture. With wit, humor, grace, and scholarship, Chris offers biblical insights while teaching Koine Greek words and phrases one delightful bite at a time. Unlike other books that overwhelm readers with Greek grammar, word formation, tenses, and the like, Chris makes the language accessible to anyone, using modern stories and analogies that engage readers and draw them into the Scriptures. Learning some Greek words and phrases helps you read the Bible in high definition! “You don’t need to be a scholar to read this book and you don’t need to know an ounce of Greek either. In fact, you don’t even have to really know much about the Bible at all,” Chris says. “All you need to do is just kick back and enjoy.”

Download or read book Fbi Killer Escapes written by Tommy Tiernan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fun but deadly story, about East Coast Irish Twins, who worked for J..Edgar Hoover. The protagonist, JAMES BLACKIE BUTLER, is from Boston and did his undergraduate work robbing banks, with a degree for ten years, three of which were served on the ROCK! Then back home, took over the Winter Hill Gang. An old buddy from school, who became an FBI Agent, told him the FBI was hiring TEIs. So they cut a deal that turned devastating for both! For starters, they needed his help to break the North Boston LCN Italian Mob. Before the Appalachian Meet, the Bureau said - No National Crime Syndicate, next day - JEH started the Top Hoodlum Program in all FBI Offices in USA. They had to take care not to knock off a Race Track, when the boss was in attendance, dont embarrass the Bureau. While they did not have a parade for BLACKIE, all soon learned he was back in town ! He worked overtime to become multi-millionaire Boston Drug Kingpin, whacking those who dared to get in his way. If you want whack job details, check out the press accounts under homicide. CAUTION - he is alleged to have whacked 19 PLUS - two were females he strangled to death! Not the guy you want your daughter to date. Some of the kills were aided by the law closing their eyes. A major casualty was the Boston Southie kids and young adults. They ODd, became vegetables, committed suicide, due to the quantities ingested of Meth, Coke, etc., as the dealers said - it was their choice! Unfortunately this scenario goes hand and hand with hard - tough law enforcement, and some agency in-fighting, in the race to scrape up the scum from the Southie streets, and its companion - corruption! Meanwhile, the press was on it regarding the homicides, real bodies and real coroner reports. BUT, no specific in depth reporting on the drug scourge. Without it, we focus on homicides, easier to cover with those grotesque images as they are ripped from the earth that they hugged for years. Then the mob burial detail told the cops where they were as a trade for immunity! Not to say that some in-depth work on the drug scourge is easy, BUT the more we do not dig into it, the more we guarantee it will continue! Yes, it is the USA drug appetite that fuels the Mexican production and distribution. Mexico has had thousands of street executions in last 15 years; all USA families have, or know those who have young loved ones, who got hooked and we attended their funerals! The Congress and the Administration needs to get off their collective asses and address the problem. The drug war losses cap the numbers we lost since the BIG WAR plus! For the DC crowd, they would rather focus on cocktail parties funded by the numerous lobbyists that choke the traffic on K St, NW, employ aides that write 1,000 page bills that no one reads before voting, none of them took the time from there career to serve the country in the military (just like their elected pols they work for), as they beef up the resume so we soon see them on the Sunday Morning Talkies. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? MARK - THERE ,I SAID IT! The nemesis, is TOMMY TIERNAN, from Newark, NJ, from a blue collar upbringing, other side of the tracks, first of five siblings, first of parents, siblings and relatives to do college, no green stamps, just guts and determination!. As oldest of five boys, thanks to the Pope, started with fish on Fridays, as got older substituted it with Pizza. Dad an Irish Fire Captain, Mom a German grade school teacher and nurse. Grandfather an immigrant from Germany, a stone carver who did the Lions on the N.Y. Public Library. The five brothers lived in the Ironbound Section of down neck Newark, N.J. After the BIG WAR, they were joined by Moms brother who lived through the Pacific War, finishing up with the invasion of Okinawa, where he survived constant Jap kamikaze attacks. All shared the same sleeping bedroom and pretty mu

They reveal how Danilo Restivo was eventually convicted of the murder of Heather Barnett in England after the ritualistic placing of hair connected him to another murder in Italy. They tell the terrible story of the inexplicably brutal murder, over a number of days, of 15-year-old Kristy Bamu by his sister and her lover because they believed him to be practising 'witchcraft'.
