Book excerpt: Ireland, A.D. 671. An Anglo-Saxon delegation arrives in Cashel to debate the new religious rules that have been handed down from Rome. The Abbot of Imleach leads the Irish delegation, which is hostile to the new rules from outsiders. Among the Anglo-Saxon group is Brother Eadulf's own younger brother, Egric, whom Eadulf hasn't seen for many years. When the debate quickly becomes acrimonious, a local abbess has to step in as a mediator between the two sides. But not even a day later her body is discovered, bludgeoned to death. The Chief Brehon Aillín accuses young Egric of murder, and suspicions and tempers run high. With the war of words threatening to spill over into bloodshed, Fidelma is sure there is something more sinister behind the murder than religious differences, and she is resolved to find out what really happened-and why.

Book excerpt: How often do we heed the message to "Welcome the Trial"? But Devil's Trumpet challenges us to find the strength to do just that. We are not merely physical beings left defenseless in a world of evil. We are gifted with reason and the power of our spirituality to develop strength of character in order to bear the bitter hardships we are destined to encounter. Allowing moral decay to replace decency emboldens the Devil's insolence and weakens personal dignity. Greed, deceit, guilt and despair have the power to seduce and consume the soul without conscience. The twisted fates of two God-fearing men plagued by heartbreaking tragedy and gut wrenching grief collide igniting an onslaught of consequences unraveling a lifetime of secrets, shame and cursed opportunities. Propelled by their disparate choices two very divergent paths emerge. Sinners are betrayed, faith is tested, vows are broken and the vulnerable are exploited. Will the hardships be endured with integrity or will the honorable passage prove too difficult a road to follow?A lifetime of regret unravels when Pastor Eliot Lester, a Catholic priest, drops dead during Palm Sunday mass in 1966; the ensuing search for the truth spans decades past, traversing the damaged path of broken vows and long guarded secrets, as the flawed lives of the Church's many sinners are deliberately exposed.The congregation of Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow, a small parish in an emerging suburb of Philadelphia, was laid bare in the aftermath of Father Lester's malicious betrayal. Managing the repercussions of the profane violation the devout convert, Cliff Michaels, is bequeathed responsibility for salvaging the battered souls while his own steadfast resolve is proven. He must discern the truth of the older priest's sordid past commencing an investigation fraught with shocking revelations. A critical look at the tragic circumstances leading to the young man's conversion and journey to the priesthood, defines his uncompromising moral fiber, the armor of his campaign against evil embodied by the powerful Bishop Patrick Monahan. The Bishop, who long ago, capitalized on heartache borne from the guilty conscience of a pitiable child, desecrated the last vestiges of decency in his spineless pawn, Eliot Lester. Eliot's demise was the denouement of a lifetime devoted to buckling under the demands and extortion imposed by his powerful friend. A crushing turn of irony underscores the pathos of the long suffering priest.Devil's Trumpet is a compelling multigenerational saga. A gripping reflection of God-fearing moral dilemmas which unfolds in the historical backdrop of Philadelphia neighborhoods and suburbs from the turn of the century to the mid-nineteen sixties framing the search for redemption with speculative ramifications imposed on the diverse characters' choices, influences and ultimate fate.

Book excerpt: Drawing from his highly praised French work, Une simple flute, distinguished flutist and teacher Michel Debost has compiled a useful and imaginative introduction to playing the flute.

In addition, the book includes original exercises such as "Debost's Scale Game," making it an excellent resource for flute teachers. Debost concludes each essay with "In a nutshell" and "Please refer to" boxes that make the book easy to browse, dog-ear, and return to again and again. Offering concise, common-sense solutions for flutists of all levels, this book is an ideal reference guide on flute performance.
