Ribbons of Death

Book 1 (Stella Hunter Mystery)
The ancients believed that once in a Blue Moon a child with Peacetaker powers is born. Such child, when grown to maturity, can seed murderous madness in people's minds by merely walking amongst them. A simple amulet activates the Peacetaker's powers.

Dr. Stella Hunter is a history professor who lost her job and her tenure. Her book of myths and legends was written for the academic world. Someone else took the premise further. That's why, when the man pushes a book smudged with bloody fingerprints across the table, Stella sees a glimmer of hope. She may yet repair her academic reputation. She may re-establish her credibility within the scientific community and she may vindicate her 'peace-taker' theory. She may also be murdered by anyone standing next to her if her theory is correct.
