Bestandige Leuchte: Die Lehre Des Judenthums, Dargestellt Fur Schule Und Haus (1866)

William Zapata had never known his birth parents. At the age of two, he was adopted; that fact was never hidden from him. But throughout the years, he did wonder what had become of them. Marie Bernabe appeared to be just an ordinary woman. That is, until her death is shrouded in mystery. As the story moves forward, it is learned that her existence was just as mysterious. William has a passion for journalism and a penchant for getting the story right. He had carved a niche as an ace sportswriter in school, and only hours after his graduation from Gilray University, the next chapter in his life quickly unfolds. The New York Skyline is a weekly publication that has yet to gain recognition, and Williamas first two weeks there had not been the smoothest. Though his assignments were well-written, he remained back-page fodder. He wanted the juice and he wanted it now. Then, all hell breaks loose. An office romance between the young writer and an attractive secretary only complicates matters. Still, he has a guardian angel in the form of a seasoned detective. They secretly work together despite the unwritten rule that police and the media should not mix. But even after finding tidbits of Marieas fragmented life, there is more to unearth following an explosive courtroom scene. Will William ever learn the absolute truth? And, if he does, will he regret the discovery?
