Trevn, though, is far more interested in his studies with a local priest and the attentions of a young honor maiden. The book that he has been copying during his lessons is not the book that teaches of the god of the soil. Instead, it teaches of a one true God.

As the police investigation gets into full swing, Detective Inspector Nevin Brown of the Royal Ulster Constabulary steps into the frame. Recently arrived in London on a six-month attachment to the Metropolitan police, Nevin’s natural flair for analysis and his years of experience in the field in Northern Ireland come to the attention of his superiors. He is charged with the task of heading up his own enquiry into the double murder. Nevin’s investigation soon leads him to Countess Natasha Romanov, a cruel and glamorous cultural Russian cultural attaché, and Ivan Dragenoff, her physically imposing bodyguard and manservant. Nevin is convinced of the countess’ guilt, but her meticulous nature has ensured that, other than one eyewitness, he has no hard evidence to back up his claims. Yet when his only witness to the crime is found at the bottom of a flight of stairs with her neck broken, Nevin also realises that something is rotten in the Metropolitan Police. Only a select few police officers knew the whereabouts and identity of the witness, and now she has been murdered. To make matters worse, MI5 have received intelligence that Nevin’s nemesis, a vicious IRA assassin by the name of Anthony Kane, has arrived in London and is preparing to carry out one last assassination that could have drastic consequences for the Northern Ireland peace process. Before long, Nevin is drawn into an intricate web of loyalty and treachery.

BIG HAIR AND FLYING COWS
Dolores Wilson - 2014
To say the least. She calls Sweet Meadow, Georgia, home, where she works for her father doing auto repairs. She also drives the tow-truck, although Sweet Meadow's rather colorful denizens tend to treat Bertie more like the local, free taxi service. You know, someone has to get to a doctor's appointment or pick something up at the dry cleaners. Bertie's favorite day of the week is Friday, when she leaves the wrecker with her father for the whole weekend and joins her friends at the Dew Drop Inn for a night of dancing. Her best friend, Mary Lou, sometimes fixes her up with dubious dates, although Bertie has to remind her friend not to tease her hair too high for those occasions. Like the time when they went to Carrie Sue's open house, and a ceramic cow with angel wings hanging from a ceiling fan locked its hooves into Bertie's big hair and refused to let go. She had to wear it all night, dangling chain and all. Bertie's nearly perfect life is about to take a downhill turn, however. It starts when her landlord, Pete, currently a resident in a nearby nursing home, starts showing up at her house. In his birthday suit. A very badly wrinkled birthday suit. And then she goes to her mailbox, a rubber large mouth bass, and finds a notice from the zoning commission saying she can no longer park the wrecker in her driveway. The notice is signed by George Bigham. But when she goes to the courthouse to take care of her little problem, it is only to discover George Bigham is deceased. And Mary Lou's pregnancy test just came up positive. Can it get any worse? In a word... yes.
