"A clever, fast-paced crime thriller." Thomas WaughWhat is the mystery behind the death of Oscar Dover? Why was his sister so keen to prevent anyone knowing he had even died, let alone attend his funeral?It's unusually quiet at police headquarters when the village gossip reports a startling claim that Dover was murdered, prompting Detective Inspector Paul Amos and Detective Sergeant Juliet Swift to set off on what they fear will be a wild goose chase. But the deeper they get into the inquiry, the more intriguing it becomes.Why does even the funeral director refuse to discuss the matter? After all, Dover was just a shambling wreck of the man he once was, estranged from his daughters and cutting an increasingly lonely figure at a not very successful junk shop, full of stuff he couldn't sell.Fate keeps pointing Amos and Swift back to pursuing the inquiry - then erects barriers in their way. Amos is frustratingly sidelined to help with the Chief Constable's latest pet project but Swift pursues the inquiry with renewed zeal, despite putting herself in grave danger.A much darker side of Oscar Dover's sordid life gradually emerges, uncovering a wide range of people who had motive and opportunity to kill him.Swift eventually uncovers the truth about Dover's death. But when Amos returns to the fray, the two detectives are faced with the difficult task of proving what really happened.Praise for Rodney Hobson"A fantastic read."

A Christian's growth is dependent on what they say they know regarding Christ and what they say they believe about Christ and the application of those beliefs in their circumstances. The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who believed in God and Christ, yet struggled to believe what they heard, read, and said they believed. Abraham and Sarah, Zechariah, Jesus disciples, Paul, and others had issues of believing what they heard or what was written in scripture. What does it mean when a person says, "I believe in God?" How does unbelief affect what a Christian believes? Does what a person believes limit their ability to produce the truths of Christ and its results in their lives? This book is written to explore the challenges of believing the Word of God and learning how to produce the results of those beliefs in their lives.
