Money always solved everything for multi-millionaire Aldo Galliano. So when faced with imminent death and the need to decide between cryonic preservation - with its hope of subsequent revival - and plain faith in God and an afterlife, he offers a £1m prize for the most convincing argument either 'for' or 'against' the existence of God. The snag is, he only has 6 months to live, which piles the pressure on. That kind of prize money is enough to focus any mind. Enter Bruce Kramer, a dropout theology graduate, who sees a 'win-win' opportunity to consolidate his religious leanings with science. He aims to reveal links between creation and evolution by scientifically explaining mysteries as diverse as the Garden of Eden story, the wise men's guiding star, and where Heaven might really be. But dangerous rivals with Mafia connections aim to prevent his success. With locations including Bath, Rome, Lake Garda, Tenerife, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, this fascinating novel draws the reader deeply into the excitement of Bruce's squabbling research team, his untimely romantic entanglements, and the compelling theories pursued by a cast of engaging but eccentric characters. Subtly combining the spiritual discernment of C.S. Lewis, the humour and rich characterisation of Peter Carey, and all the twists and turns of a mystery thriller, the author brings us an entertaining and unforgettable tale. But beware. Like one of Galliano's favourite lattes, while everything might appear frothy on the surface, a high caffeine brew lurks deep below that may keep you awake at night. thinking. And that's the least of it. It might also change your outlook on life - and death! This novel was first published in paperback. REVIEWS:"Fluid, smooth and flows at a lovely pace. Really engaging from the start. Like 'The Shack', there is a niche for this kind of book."-Gillian McDade (journalist and author of 'Standing Man')"A wonderful, well written and entertaining novel that demonstrates the reality.

Danger, excitement and love - this is how the glamorous Phryne Fisher is determined to live her life in her second enticing adventure. Walking the wings of a Tiger Moth plane in full flight ought to be enough excitement for most people, but not Phryne Fisher, amateur detective, woman of mystery, as delectable as the finest chocolate and as sharp as razor blades. In this, the second Phryne Fisher mystery, the 1920s' most talented and glamorous detective flies even higher, handling a murder, a kidnapping and the usual array of beautiful young men with style and consummate ease - and all before it's time to adjourn to the Queenscliff Hotel for breakfast. Whether she's flying planes, clearing a friend of homicide charges or saving a child from kidnapping, she handles everything with the same dash and lan with which she drives her red Hispano-Suiza. Phryne Fisher, an investigator with all the charm, wit and intelligence of James Bond, and as many lovers.' Sunday Sun.
