Shell and Joe are spending their honeymoon at a Colorado ski lodge and had expected to spend their two weeks skiing by day and cuddling by the roaring fire by evening. What they did NOT expect, however, was the discovery of the body of another lodge guest, and Joe's instant observation that this was not the result of an accident. The murderer could have been intruders, but Shell and Joe believe it more likely to have been perpetrated by another guest at the lodge. And what part might some of the long time lodge employees have played? The victim, after all, was a regular guest whose behavior...

After their first attempt at a honeymoon resulted in disaster, Joe and Shell decide to Try, Try Again and are offered use of an isolated lakeside cabin in Montana. They arrive only to find it was NOT as isolated as indicated. Instead, they open the door to find a man's body in the kitchen, shot in the back of the head. Shell says "we're jinxed!" but they check into a B&B and stay through threatening notes, a car chase, and resolve to solve the mystery, some of which is locked in the memories of a very old lady who persists in trying to protect the good names of family members long gone. A...

Shell and Joe are tired of murder, so while exploring North Padre Island, when they find the body of a dog, who had been trying to dig something out of the sand, and they see the foot of a murdered woman, they are determined to stay out of it.

Succeeding in that (or did they?), a few days later they hear of an airline hijacking and Joe feels compelled to run to the rescue. Shell sticks by her man, and uses the resources of Rayburn Enterprises, which she inherited, to try to get the hostages released.

That's how they meet their third set of twins --two young men trying to save their...

Never one to let a good mystery pass her by, Shell, with the aid of husband, Joe, sets out to find answers. This cold case file eventually leads Shell and her newly acquired entourage to Ireland and back. They soon feel they know the answer, but can they prove it?

In the summer of 1263, Nahmanides (Rabbi Moses ben Nahman, c. 1195-1270) traveled from his home in Girona to Barcelona at the behest of King James I of Aragon (1213-1276) to debate with a Dominican Friar named Paul about specific claims concerning the Messiah in Judaism and Christianity. The two disputants, each thoroughly convinced of the indisputable truth of his own religious faith and theological interpretations, argued their positions before a panel of judges headed by James I himself. Nina Caputo's new graphic history tells the story of the Barcelona Disputation from the perspective of...
