ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul Robertson is a computer programming consultant, part-time high-school math and science teacher, and the author of The Heir<\/em><\/strong>. He is also a former Christian bookstore owner (for 15 years), who lives with his family in Blacksburg, Virginia.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A Deadly Game of Justice Versus Mercy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Charles Beale lives outside the shadow of Washington, D.C. Politics and power matter only when a client crosses the Potomac to visit his Alexandria Rare Books shop.<\/p>\n

But that all changes when a former client — a man deeply connected in the Justice Department — is found murdered after a break-in gone bad. When Charles reclaims at auction the books he’d once sold, he quickly discovers he’s bought more trouble than he could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n

Inside one volume are secrets. A collection of sins that, if revealed, could destroy reputations, careers — even lives. Charles soon learns he isn’t the only one who knows. Going to the police means ruining a multitude of lives. But staying silent puts a target on his shop, his wife — and himself. Charles must decide: Should one mistake really cost you everything?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am about two-thirds through According To Their Deeds<\/a>. The author’s writing style is charming with puns and other amusing comments that enter the conversations. I have personally enjoyed the way Charles asks Alice what books she has sold and then uses their titles to identify with current events.<\/p>\n

According To Their Deeds<\/a> is a thoughtful book that chronicles the dilemma Charles faces when he finds incriminating papers secreted in a book purchased at the auction of a murdered friend’s effects. I can’t wait to find out how it all plays out. I suggest that you pick up a copy and see for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
