Betrayed

Fires smolder endlessly below the dangerous surface of Guatemala City’s municipal dump. Deadlier fires seethe beneath the tenuous calm of a nation recovering from brutal civil war. Anthropologist Vicki Andrews is researching Guatemala’s “garbage people” when she stumbles across a human body. Curiosity turns to horror as she uncovers no stranger, but an American environmentalist—Vicki’s only sister, Holly.

With authorities dismissing the death as another street crime, Vicki begins tracing Holly’s last steps, a pilgrimage leading from slum squalor to the breathtaking and endangered cloud forests of the Sierra de las Minas Biosphere. But every unraveled thread raises more questions. What betrayal connects Holly’s murder, the recent massacre of a Mayan village, and the long-ago deaths of Vicki’s own parents?

Nor is Vicki the only one demanding answers. Before her search reaches its startling end, the conflagration has spilled across international borders to threaten an American administration and the current war on terror. With no one turning out to be who they’d seemed, who can Vicki trust and who should she fear?

A politically relevant tale of international intrigue and God’s redemptive beauty and hope.

Par for the Course

Ray Blackstone’s newest book, Par for the Course, will keep you laughing from start to finish. So, put down whatever dull, unfunny thing you are reading now and start this. You won’t be sorry!

This novel is the story of Chris Hackette, owner and operator of Hack’s Golf Learning Center, an eccentric golf range in Charleston, South Carolina. Christ jumps at the chance to step up his game when an attractive new student and political correspondent, Molly Cusack, suggest that Chris capitalize on the highly polarized presidential election. His pitting of Right vs Left means even more income, plus a sharp new girlfriend, and soon Chris, his sidekick, Cack, and their unique golf range are the talk of the town…until someone takes the political insults too seriously.

The question is, will Molly stick around long enough for Chris to learn the true meaning of “playing politics”? Or is she just another “moving target”?
