What the world needs every day is a good dose of encouragement from God. These short Daily Prescriptions based on God's Word and written in narrative style could be exactly the cure for what ails you today!

Sue Longtree is too young to be a matriarch, but when she moves to run down the story behind her brother''s suicide, she stands at the top looking down on a family in shambles. The suicide''s hardly a whodunit, as the private dick that Longtree hires, our hero Harry Jome, sees it. Or is it? The answer may lie less in a wall''s bloodstains or the cheap framed prints that cover them than in the pages of a manuscript. This hardboiled literary meta-noir channels both the genre''s suspense and seaminess, and at once offers an implicit critique of the culture that makes it possible.
