Da en af de lokale mænd dør, formentlig af et slangebid, bliver der brug for Claras viden. Hun bliver rystet, da ligsynet afslører en højere koncentration af slangegift i den afdødes krop, end der nogensinde ville forekomme efter et enkelt slangebid. Alt tyder på, at han er blevet myrdet, men hvem kunne have adgang til så meget slangegift? Og hvorfor slå ihjel på en så grusom måde?

Je reconnais les contours familiers de la bâtisse d'English Prep. Rien n'a vraiment changé. La façade couverte de lierre, les vieilles portes en fer forgé, les gargouilles de pierre. Figées au-dessus de l'entrée, elles semblent penser comme tout le monde : je n'ai plus ma place ici. Autrefois, c'était différent. Je faisais partie du cercle des privilégiés, de ceux qui avaient tout. L'argent, le nom, la réputation. J'étais l'une des leurs. Puis le scandale a tout balayé et je suis partie.

Devotion to Our Lord in the Womb embraces a distinct and separate stage in the history of the Incarnation, writes English author and Jesuit priest Henry James Coleridge. Our Lord’s life in the womb of His Blessed Mother, he adds, is a part of His infinite condescension which calls for a corresponding devotion. Beginning with the Annunciation and ending on the eve of the Nativity, it covers the whole unborn life of Our Lord. This portion of His human existence is the period of His greatest humiliation and self-abasement.

A History of the Popes tells the story of the oldest living institution in the Western world—the papacy. From its origins in Saint Peter, Jesus' chief disciple, through Pope Benedict XVI today, the popes have been key players in virtually all of the great dramas of the western world in the last two thousand years. Acclaimed church historian John W. O'Malley's engaging narrative examines the 265 individuals who have claimed to be Peter's successors. Rather than describe each pope one by one, the book focuses on the popes that shaped pivotal moments in both church and world history.

Martin eases these concerns with thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms.
