The Readymade Thief
An addictive literary puzzle that introduces an unforgettable young heroine plunged into the twisted world of a secret society with a dark agenda. Lee Cuddy is seventeen years old and on the run, alone on the streets of Philadelphia. A fugitive with no money, no home and nowhere to go, Lee finds refuge in a deserted building known as the Crystal Castle. But the Castle conceals a sinister agenda, one master-minded by a society of fanatical men set on decoding a series of powerful secrets hidden in plain sight. And they believe Lee holds the key to it all. Aided by Tomi, a mysterious young hacker, Lee escapes into the unmapped corners of the city. But the deeper she goes underground, the more tightly she finds herself bound in the strange web of the men she’s trying to elude. Aware that the lives of those she cares for are in increasing danger, it is only when Lee steps from the shadows to confront who is chasing her that she discovers what they’re really after, and why. Part literary detective novel, part art history, part conspiracy thriller, The Readymade Thief introduces a singular, indomitable heroine and the arrival of a spellbinding and original new talent in fiction.
The Divinization of Caesar and Augustus
This book examines the newly institutionalized divinization of Caesar and Augustus at the advent of the Roman empire.
Who Killed Apollo and Julian Augustus?
Who killed him? That is the question. Julian Augustus, Roman Emperor from 361-363 A. D., initiated reform of the Roman bureaucracy and state religion immediately on assuming office. After dismissing many civil servants, he eliminated Christianity as the state religion, reversing the policy of his two immediate predecessors. Instead, Julian proposed that all religions flourish freely. In parallel to his reforms, Julian attempted to destroy the Persian Empire after centuries of unsuccessful Roman efforts. This novel recounts Julian's reign through the eyes of Oribasius, Julian's trusted physician. At the climax of Julian's successful campaign in Persia, he was assassinated. Who killed Julian? Was it the same conspirators who silenced Apollo's Oracle at Delphi? Was it the Christian hierarchy, angry Roman military officers, laid-off eunuchs, humbled Persians, disaffected Jews, or unemployed Christian educators? They were all affected by Julian and had motive, means and opportunity.
