KO'd in the Volcano by Victoria Heckman Pdf

When Honolulu police officer Katrina Ogden lands an assignment at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, her working vacation turns ugly. Caught between two forces--murder and Madame Pele, Goddess of the Volcano--K.O. races against time in her struggle to save lives before the volcano's eruption sweeps them all away. "Victoria Heckman's 'K.O.'d in the Volcano' is a terrific novel. The plot is as fast and hot as the lava that threatens to blow from Kupaianaha and the writing so vivid you can feel the ensuing heat. Katrina Ogden is an intelligent and self-confident protagonist who remains genuine in nature, a refreshing change from so many of the carefully constructed and gimmicky characters that populate so many of today's mysteries. I recommend it highly." --JR Ripley, author of the Tony Kozol mystery series

Bitter Tree by Frank Altobelli Pdf

Hidden beneath desert sands and cleverly written as an intriguing story in the pages of the Bible wasn't a miracle that would bring clean water to the world's thirsty poor, as Rene idealistically believed.
