Some called him a Miracle worker - He called himself "God's Mechanic." "Modern" medicine has drugs and surgery, but until mechanical corrections are made - nothing is going to get much better. Body Mechanics is based on the belief that God created the body of man perfectly designed, just as one would design any machine. It consists of a skeletal frame which must be in good articulation so that the muscles and ligaments can work freely and without friction, just like the pulleys and belts of any machine must be in good alignment for optimum efficiency. The organs of the human body may be compared to those machine parts. Some organs move up and down with each breath, others rock back and forth, such as the moving parts of a machine. If organs are blocked, or out of their sockets - you have problems. Restoring the order and function of the body brings back health. Body Mechanics was discovered by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still before the turn of the century. He was an MD, but invented this as Manipulative Osteopathy - but in the years since - Osteopathy turned more towards MD style surgery and drugs. Osteopathy Colleges no longer teach nor license the Manipulative arts. But as you will see in this book - there is still a place for Body Mechanics.

Sergeant Winston Windflower and his trusty crew at the Grand Bank detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have more than a few mysteries on their hands. Windflower suspects that the three cases-a homicide, a near-homicide and a fire on Coronation Street-are somehow connected, but how is proving difficult to determine, especially now that he must battle his unusually cranky mood, the never-ending winter that has gripped the coastal region of Newfoundland and his new, power-hungry boss.In Fire, Fog and Water, Bony Blythe Award winner Mike Martin is true to form, retaining the light crime genre for which he is known while delving into the most perplexing social issues of our time, including mental health, addictions and workplace harassment. Windflower must not only solve the drug-and-death crimes that threaten the otherwise tranquil lives of Grand Bank's residents, he must resolve his own internal conflicts before they consume him as surely as the blaze that engulfed the house on Coronation Street."It's like going home each time I read about Sgt. Winston Windflower, his family, and his fellow officers in Grand Bank, Newfoundland. I enjoy these stories that contain a little mystery and at the same time a cozy feel to the life and times of this good man, Sgt. Winston Windflower." - Online Book Review, 4 out of 4 Stars"Readers interested in a small-town setting and a whodunit that is satisfyingly complex and thought-provoking will find Darkest Before the Dawn excels at creating a realistic atmosphere that keeps the story fast-paced and involving.
