A Crime of Innocence
Mary Nichols, a beautiful young FBI agent, begins to have flashbacks to an event from her childhood. The flashbacks intensify after visiting her uncle's newly purchased home, the site of a murder 25 years ago. Privately, she begins to investigate. The local priest, Father Leo, becomes her primary suspect. Her flashbacks continue, each one bringing her closer to the killer's identity. But, all the while, unknown to Mary, the prominent psychiatrist from whom she's sought help, has been seeing many of the community's prominent members as patients, including Father Leo. Treachery, deceit and the pain of memories suppressed by sheer will drive this tumultuous murder mystery. Who's the guilty one? The banks of the famous Charles River holds the answer. But will Mary find it before he finds her?
Moral Power
Neither power nor morality but both. Moral power is what Sukuma farmers in Tanzania in times of crisis attribute to an unknown figure they call their witch. A universal process is involved, as much bodily as social, which obstructs the patient’s recovery. Healers turn the table on the witch through rituals showing that the community and the ancestral spirits side with the victim. In contrast to biomedicine, their magic and divination introduce moral values that assess the state of the system and that remove the obstacles to what is taken as key: self-healing. The implied ‘sensory shifts’ and therapeutic effectiveness have largely eluded the literature on witchcraft. This book shows how to comprehend culture other than through the prism of identity politics. It offers a framework to comprehend the rise of witch killings and human sacrifice, just as ritual initiation disappears.

Ancestors in Shadows of Wisdom
Religion and Spirituality being an invaluable tool to contain the indisputable element of fear to survive; this book tackles the most intriguing issues regarding African interpretation of God’s ways; - in bid to seeking divine balance, natural justice, and emphasizing The Creators’ decentralization of divine authority. This is not only worth a ‘pick’ and worth an inspiration with ancestral techniques of storytelling to stimulate a reading appetite; but a nut worth cracking with objective criticism, logical discussions, and various analytical interpretations of African Theological domain.
