The Pope's Granddaughter
The nearly nude, decomposing body of a beautiful young woman is found in a Bloomington, Minnesota park preserve area. Indications are that the girl has been raped and strangled while running in the park, but an autopsy and other evidence lead Bloomington police detective Druke to theorize that the killing was a case of mistaken identity, that the rape was staged to mislead investigators, and that the murder may have been committed by a professional killer, who might well still be stalking his real target. Druke also adroitly deduces that the real person who is earmarked for assassination is Druke’s own headstrong daughter, Sydney, who is the victim’s look-a-like. Someone, for some reason...

Kona Heat
Science and superstition clash in a dangerous high-stakes gamble to build a geothermal energy plant on Hawaii's Big Island, tapping the power from the Kilauea Volcano. Dr. Yonette Weber, the young geologist brought in to oversee the project after the previous manager's fatal accident, quickly finds herself in the middle of a battle for the island's most precious resource-land. Those opposed to the energy plant include a religious group that worships the volcano goddess Pele, local ranchers and environmentalists, the oil industry, and the military. What's more, as Yonette works to complete the project on time, someone is secretly watching her and tracking her movements. Yonette's growing attraction to Brad Hudson, a charismatic resort developer, puts them both at risk. Eruptions on Kilauea, more fatalities, a priceless red crystal with untold powers, and Madame Pele herself add to the danger, leading up to a fiery climax in the very heart of the volcano.
Animal Sacrifice and the Origins of Islam
Islam is the only biblical religion that still practices animal sacrifice. Indeed, every year more than a million animals are shipped to Mecca from all over the world to be slaughtered during the Muslim Hajj. This multi-disciplinary volume is the first to examine the physical foundations of this practice and the significance of the ritual. Brannon Wheeler uses both textual analysis and various types of material evidence to gain insight into the role of animal sacrifice in Islam. He provides a 'thick description' of the elaborate camel sacrifice performed by Muhammad, which serves as the model for future Hajj sacrifices. Wheeler integrates biblical and classical Arabic sources with evidence from zooarchaeology and the rock art of ancient Arabia to gain insight into an event that reportedly occurred 1400 years ago. His book encourages a more nuanced and expansive conception of “sacrifice” in the history of religion.

A Light in the Darkness: The Music and Life of Joaquín Rodrigo
A composer of singular vision. Joaquín Rodrigo (1901–1999) is best known as the composer of one of the most popular works of music in the twentieth century—the Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra. It’s been featured in movies and television commercials and remains a staple of concert programs for orchestras around the world. Miles Davis said, “After listening to it for a couple of weeks…I couldn’t get it out of my mind,” and he used it as inspiration for his album Sketches of Spain. But as Javier Suárez-Pajares and Walter Aaron Clark reveal in this musical biography—the first complete study in English—Rodrigo’s work and influence extend far beyond that singul...
