Once again, Hallie Marsh, amateur sleuth and career woman, finds herself getting involved in a mysterious death. When Hallie and scientist Sam Butler find the body of Sam's friend, beautiful heiress Carlie Gaines, in her Russian Hill condo, Hallie contacts Carlie's lawyer, Nate Garchik. She learns that Carlie has no relatives, except for her estranged father, a convicted felon. With no clues to Carlie's murder or the poison that killed her, Hallie decides to go undercover at the dance school Sam and Carlie attended. There she meets Jeff Donegan, the oversexed ballroom instructor, and Fernando Ruiz, the magnetic "Tango King," among others. Working with psychic Zlotta Kofiszny and cynical detective TB Baer, Hallie tackles a second mysterious death that leads to a frightening discovery and an unexpected solution.

Leaders & Notable People

Born in a castle, sharing rooms with the pagan Broonie &amp; the Archbishop, and, though a second son, destined to inherit an ancient Scottish name &amp; a large property, influenced by his Crabbe and Lockhart ancestors, trained to be an effective agent of Empire through his classical, sporting education, which included Oxford University, where he rowed, flew and became a student of history, Angus Macdonald looked forward to a bright future. He joined the Argylls and embarked on a military career that put him on the front line in Malaya, in WW2, as Chief of Staff to various Commanders, where he lived in tents, out-ran tanks in his baby Fiat, and escaped, only to die at sea in unknown circumstances. Sixty years later, his niece Mary Gladstone sets out to retrace his life to find out why her uncle's mysterious death had so deeply affected her family. With scant evidence due to Angus's restraint &amp; love of solitude, Mary succeeds in this tour de force, of giving her uncle a living place in the British narrative...By recreating her uncle's life, Mary Gladstone confronts the controversy surrounding his death. She searches the record, correcting a wrong, a code of honor betrayed by a jackal, a slander that brought death in another form. Her quest is like that of her Lockhart ancestor who rode to the crusades with the heart of King Robert the Bruce. In the years after WW2, Largie castle, roofless through neglect, was reduced to a rubble of stones &amp; with it the author's own sense of self &amp; family. Gaining full understanding, she ends with an inspired disquisition on the British Empire, that nicely defines its evolving and layered character.

Historical

Nature-centered learning at a two-room school in a redwood grove suggests a reconsidered lesson plan. Our Canyon setting allows testing of creative logic. The possibilities are explored on all levels, resulting in MeTech, a perspective that encourages the fostering of digital natives, comfortable with the future. When technology shadows art, art creates technology. From the oral culture of pre-school we can then advance to the written library that shapes abstract understanding. Visual logic, as pattern recognition and sequential causality, can lead to complex conceptual understanding. Layered architectural insight is the essence of education. Visual thought experiments that distill complexity to elemental simplicity make both learning and new futures possible. The digital dominates our new age. If we do not master it, it will master us. At present, technology has a 3-5 year life span; it's always on the verge of being outdated. We will soon move beyond the X/0, on/off stage of digital to quantum com- puting, where yes and no can exist simultneously. Are we ready?

The human dangers are far greater however than the whims of the weather. Surviving is essential, but thriving is the goal. Good readers get to share the ride...Diamonds come in many forms, as personal, as unreal possibilities, as loyal friends, and as crystals from cold volcanos. Do they exist in Alaska or are they a con from the lower 48? Josh's life depends on finding out the full truth.
