And If Thine Eye Offend Thee

And If Thine Eye OffendThee is a story about a mystery solving doctor detective private investigator, Dr. MacArthur Donne, from Austin, Texas. Dr. Donne, and his rambunctious side kick and good friend, Jack Robbie, are called to Biggin Hill, England, a small town south of London, in the midst of the mysterious Mad Cow epidemic by Mr. Malcomb Lindsay to investigate the cause of his wife’s death.

Hampered by the recent death of his own wife, Jenny, but energized by the mysterious prospect of the case before him, Dr. Donne and Jack fly from Austin to England. An interview with Mrs. Martha Lindsay’s medical doctor didn’t help Dr. Donne because he assumed she had died, like many of his previous patients, of plain old Alzheimer’s disease.

What happened to Dr. Donne that day at Mass when a flash of lightening reflected into his eyes from the sword of Michael the Archangel? What killed Mrs. Lindsay? How did she die? Written in the style of great literature and reminiscent of many true stories of doctors who turn into private investigators, And If Thine Eye Offend Thee harkens back to the days of Conan Doyle-＂Watson, the game is afoot.＂ Read about how Sherlock Holmes goes to Texas.
