Murder and the Magic of the Mind: Mystery Time Published by Outskirts Press
In Janet Hannah’s third Alex Kertész mystery, her dashing scientist and charismatic sleuth returns with a beautiful German colleague to solve two mysteries: the murder of an American professor and the connection between an old watch and past time.
Jerusalem, Israel, May 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Veteran novelist Janet Hannah announced today the release of Mystery Time, An Alex Kertész Mystery, published by Outskirts Press. Hannah brings back her charming multilingual microbiologist, Alex Kertész, and sets him on the trail of two parallel mysteries: how did an American professor die and how is it possible to “see” into the past?
In a para-psychological adventure that starts in Prague and ends in Heidelberg, Hungarian born Alex Kertész and his German colleague, Professor Hildegard Kraus, settle into their seats at a scientific congress one evening to listen to an American microbiologist begin his lecture. The man gets up on the stage, but instead of speaking, he drops dead.
While Alex and Hildegard are wondering if one of the other scientists assembled in the hall is the killer, Hildegard discovers her watch, a treasured family keepsake with an intriguing history, has been taken. They conjecture that the murderer is also the thief, and so begins their suspense filled attempt to solve this double mystery.
Mystery Time is the third Janet Hannah novel in the well received Alex Kertész mystery series. Hannah’s first volume, The Wish to Kill, was covered enthusiastically by Booklist, whose reviewer wrote, “First novelist Hannah has hit upon an engaging premise: a mystery series starring a research scientist working at the University of Jerusalem. She has the makings of a good series: a sympathetic hero and an intriguing, nicely evoked setting.”
The Wish to Kill analyzes the possibility that thoughts have the power to kill. Murder with a French Accent, the second book in the series, takes Alex to Toulouse, where a biotech company has run into trouble trying to produce a genetically engineered strain of bacteria that he created.
In Mystery Time Hannah returns to the subject of The Wish to Kill, the as yet unexplained abilities of the human mind.
