Facets of Death is a prequel to the popular Detective Kubu series set in Botswana. In the previous books, Kubu is the senior detective in the Criminal Investigation Department in Gaborone. A large man - as his nickname Kubu (hippopotamus) suggests - he investigates complex murder cases with southern African backstories.Facets of Death is set in the late 1990s when Kubu first joins the Botswana CID as a raw detective. While he's trying to be accepted by the current staff and to make a role for himself in the CID, a massive diamond heist takes place on the road from Jwaneng - home of the world's richest diamond mine. It's immediately clear that this is no opportunistic robbery. The mine has a complicated security scheme in place, and Kubu and his boss, Assistant Superintendent Mabaku, immediately suspect an inside job. The robbers systematically eliminate all the witnesses, and then they are killed by the South African police, leaving the detectives with nothing to go on. Everyone who knew the mine's security plan is a possible suspect, including the director of the CID and the owners of the mine. And Mabaku and Kubu can't even trust the South African Police - maybe they grabbed the gems after they shot the robbers.Kubu and Mabaku are sure they can solve the case if only their contacts can stay alive long enough to point them in the right direction. However, when one of the mine's senior managers becomes the next victim, they are forced to set a trap for the crime's mastermind. If it fails, their careers are over - in Kubu's case before it's even begun.

Like Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, an extraordinarily moving and engaging look at loss and death. Eve Joseph is an award-winning poet who worked for twenty years as a palliative care counselor in a hospice. When she was a young girl, she lost a much older brother, and her experience as a grown woman helping others face death, dying, and grief opens the path for her to recollect and understand his loss in a way she could not as a child. In the Slender Margin is an insider's look at an experience that awaits us all, and that is at once deeply fascinating, frightening, and in modern society shunned. The book is an intimate invitation to consider death and our response to it without fear or morbidity, but rather with wonder and a curious mind. Writing with a poet's precise language and in short meditative chapters leavened with insight, warmth, and occasional humor, Joseph cites her hospice experience as well as the writings of others across generations—from the realms of mythology, psychology, science, religion, history, and literature—to illuminate the many facets of dying and death. Offering examples from cultural traditions, practices, and beliefs from around the world, her book is at once an exploration of the unknowable and a very humane journey through the land of grief.

"A brilliant cardiologist, Dr. Terry Gordon has spent the better part of his adult life smack-dab in the middle of crises. He has been right there, often working feverishly throughout the night without any sleep, simply doing what he vowed to do when he took the Hippocratic oath. He is an accomplished member of the healing profession and someone I admire very much. Dr. Gordon is a dedicated man who has been in awe of the heart and its majestic role in our lives. I love him like a brother, with all of my heart." - Dr. Wayne Dyer, New York Times bestselling author, internationally acclaimed self-help expert, motivational speaker, and famed PBS host. It was during an open-heart operation that renowned Cleveland Clinic trained cardiologist, Dr. Terry Gordon cradled in his hands a patient's beating heart. Feeling the pulsating contractions, he marveled at how this vital organ knew when to beat. Mesmerized by its rhythm, Dr. Gordon knew in that miraculous moment, the heart somehow conveyed its connection to the Source of all creation. During a medical career that spanned over a quarter century, Dr. Gordon discovered many astounding truths. One of the most profound lessons came to him one evening while reading EKGs. During the process, he realized each heart has a unique signature of energy. Every electrical impulse emanating from each beating heart, whether human or belonging to a dragonfly becomes as much a part of the cosmos as the most powerful photons emitted from the largest stars. Even though many of those stars died millions of years ago, their eternal essence continues as the twinkling light we observe as their energy traverses through the Universe heading in our direction. The heart's electrical imprint is like that of the stars; it never ceases to be. It was in this profound moment of awakening, that Dr. Gordon first acknowledged the epiphany: There is no such thing as death. For many, the sum of our greatest fears arises from facing our demise. Much of the angst stems from the uncertainty of not knowing for sure what awaits us on the other side of life. In his new book, No Beginning . . . No End, Dr. Gordon explores many perplexing facets of death, encouraging the reader to embrace death not as something frightening, but as a natural corollary of life. A recognized cardiologist and internationally acclaimed author who was named the American Heart Association's National Physician of the Year 2002, Dr. Gordon is no stranger to death. Having witnessed over 1,000 people die, he was able to observe from a unique vantage point many patients as they transitioned to the next phase of life. His book provides a marvelous understanding of immortality with insights that will forever change the reader's view of life--and death. Dr. Gordon shares his truth that dying is not the end of life, it's quite the opposite. In No Beginning . . . No End, he shares that what is often referred to as 'death', is actually the continuation of life manifested in the form of Soul. According to the author, through the process of becoming familiar with death, our partner in life, we are able to learn everything there is to know about death, and in doing so, it becomes our friend. With such awareness, dying can be one of the most exhilarating transitions of our lives. "Death is merely the launch vehicle of yet another episode of the journey back to the Master of Creation. It is the moment we should prepare for our entire lives." - Dr. Terry Gordon

Pathways To Peace entices the reader into the magnificent splendor of the higher dimensions and explores many facets of life after death. It weaves around a diversity of inspiring personal experiences of those who have clinically died and returned to tell their remarkable stories. It describes in detail what happens when we die and dispels all fears of death and dying. It is designed to illustrate that we are all eternal, glorious Divine beings that can choose to embrace the transition into another dimension when we pass over and re-unite with Source The Light- to be enveloped and caressed by a depth of unconditional love that defies human description. It shows that we are never judged, we are all from the same original Source and as such are all interconnected. The book reveals many examples of After Death Communication and offers insights derived from some of Christines own personal experiences as to why she believes there are no accidents. Pathways To Peace also provides practical support, insights and encouragement for those coping with loss.
