Description

What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.

THE LURE OF THE WITCH Betty Sullivan LaPierre Mystery When 16-year-old Sarah Willis goes missing, her father turns to Tom Casey, aka Hawkman, to find her. Casey has a reputation for solving even the toughest cases that come through the door of his private investigation business. This could be his most important case so far. Greg Willis and his wife have been estranged for some time, devastating young Sarah. She has expressed her unhappiness to her friends recently and now Hawkman thinks she may have run away of her own accord. As he delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding Sarah’s disappearance, he finds some things that don’t fit. Her friends, for instance. It’s true, their stories all match. In fact, they match too well. Hawkman can sense a cover-up among even the most professional of agents, so a group of naïve teenagers hardly has a chance of putting one over on him. But convincing them to spill the whole truth is another matter entirely. Sensing his frustration, his wife Jennifer comes to his aid. She has a little better handle on how young women think. With the two of them teamed up, Sarah is sure to be found. But it’s a race against the clock. As it begins to look like Sarah left by choice, Sarah’s father redoubles his efforts to find his daughter. He will help Hawkman and Jennifer in any way he can. But the former Mrs. Willis can’t seem to look beyond her own pain. She is offended at Sarah’s voluntary departure, as though it’s a personal affront. She and the mothers of Sarah’s friends do little to help the search, even hinder it in small ways. They don’t understand that time is running out. Full of the agonies of the high school years, with their growing pains and rampant hormones, LURE OF THE WITCH takes its readers on a wild ride. The kids of the small Southern Oregon town where Sarah grew up are mostly your typical students: Jocks and cheerleaders, wallflowers and the popular kids, nerds, brainiacs, and overachievers. But even that early in life, there are predators among them. Hawkman and Jennifer fear that Sarah has fallen prey to an especially sinister one. One with a score to settle. With a growing sense of urgency, they ratchet the pressure up while still trying to avoid a panic, because scared people are dangerous people. --- Reviewed by Kate Ayers<div> </div>
