"The Case of" Mysteries
A novel by William L. Sullivan
In this wacky mystery, half of a missing Einstein formula turns up in a violin case in an Oregon attic. When Ana Smyth sells the case on eBay she suddenly finds herself dodging international spies. To find the rest of the formula and uncover the truth about her own family history, she races through Europe -- from a Greek monastery to an Italian cyclotron, the Slovenian Alps, and the German city where Einstein was born.

When a swami reveals that the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has been reincarnated as a 26-year-old barista in a coffee shop in Northeast Portland, detective Neil Ferguson suspects there will be trouble. In the 1980s the original Bhagwan brought thousands of red-robed followers to Oregon, preaching enlightenment and free love. They built a utopian city in Eastern Oregon's desert -- and then poisoned hundreds of people in an attempt to overthrow the government. Now the Rajneeshees are back, building a new commune on an Indian reservation near Crater Lake. When people begin falling victim to a mysterious sniper, Ferguson has to find out the truth behind the Rajneesh revival -- and rescue his niece Harmony.
Viking Historical Novels
This series of historical novels covers the breadth of the Viking Age, alternating chapters between the excavation of real archeological sites and actual saga accounts of the Vikings a thousand years ago.
"The Ship in the Hill" recounts the beginnings of the Viking Age in Norway, and the excavation of the famous Oseberg ship in 1904. "The Ship in the Sand" focuses on the Danish Vikings, who conquered England in 1016 to avenge the murder of Harald Bluetooth's daughter. Alternate chapters in that book describe the excavation of Bluetooth's ship during World War II, when Denmark was occupied by the Nazis. "The Ship in the Woods" deals with the Swedish Vikings, who conquered Russia and besieged Constantinople in 907. The final book in the series, "The Ship in the Ice," recounts the voyages of Icelandic Vikings to Greenland and America. Throughout the series, three generations of women archeologists struggle to reveal the role of women in the Viking Age, and to find peace in their own lives.
