In her phenomenal #1 international bestseller—fifth in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Fredrika Bergman series—“one of Sweden’s best younger writers” (Los Angeles Times Magazine) delivers a tense, atmospheric mystery featuring an enigmatic killer rooted in folklore. On a cold winter’s day, a pre-school teacher is shot to death in front of parents and children at the Jewish Congregation in Stockholm. Just a few hours later, two Jewish boys go missing on their way to tennis practice, and an unexpected blizzard destroys any trace of the perpetrator. Investigative analyst Fredrika Bergman and police superintendent Alex Recht face their toughest challenge ever on the hunt for a killer as merciless as he is effective. As they struggle to pin down a lead, someone or something called the Paper Boy—a mysterious old Israeli legend of a nighttime killer—keeps popping up in the police investigation. But who was the Paper Boy really? And how could he have resurfaced in Stockholm? It is up to Fredrika to track down the elusive murderer before he claims his next victim.

I wrote this book from the time I was two years old up until the present day to tell my life story about the trials that life puts you through, and many of the trials have been very hard and bitter. They left scars in my heart, and at times, I was wondering if God was watching over me. But through it all, I remember what the Christian family that I grew up in has taught me and made me realize all I had to do was to call his name, and he would comfort me in my time of need. I'm hoping this book would be an inspiration for someone going through similar trials!

Darkness lurks on the edge of the Kingdom of Limerick. A queen thirsty for blood and hungry for power is searching for a magical scepter. The scepter will give her what she longs for, the throne of Limerick and the death of the High King. A handmaiden with a quest sown into the legends of Limerick is the kingdom's only hope. Things aren't always what they seem, and the hand of friendship hides the face of evil. Lachlan, a knight in the High King's guard is tasked with recovering the scepter before the queen and her murderous horde gain its advantage. Deception and mistrust pit Lachlan against the woman he loves, and when the High King disappears, all seems lost. Will those chosen be victorious? Or will the king and his kingdom fall forever in darkness?

Although I am a gentile, I came into the Kingdom of God when Jesus told me: You must be born again, then I heard Him say, I tell you the truth, Bob, unless, you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom Of God. That day when He spoke those words to me I was so excited as I listened. Then Jesus replied, "I assure you, Bob, no one can enter the Kingdom Of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. (Not beyond anyone's understanding, Bob) So don't be surprised when I say, You must be born again. The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit." (What can I do, Lord Jesus, ) Check Out...Revelation 3:19-20, and certainly John 3:3-8 These instructions were not given immediate attention, but they enlarged my spirit of understanding, and bless the Lord He never released me till the narrow road became clear.
