THE STONE HE TURNED:
A ROSETTA STONE SAGA
A novel by Joanne Shaw
Ex forensics star, now
Geologist, Jack Wheeler pulls together his detective work and finds an
encrypted stone which has haunted his curiosity since he entered
the field of his choice. He finds the legendary rock etched with
an unfinished sentence.
The rock shows signs of age, but has associated linguistics that are
only modern. It is surprising it was even written in
English. It is like turning around The Stone Age and The Wheel
Age. It defies logic. But the stone appears
authentic. The chippings on the rock were not made by even a
remotely modern instrument and prehistoric fossil is found in the
grooves of the lettering. It is as if whoever carved those
letters on the rock, did not know at all that they were spelling.
He searches out the meaning of the inscription which is a half written
statement about love -- and instead he stumbles upon a literal meaning
of life.
He seeks out advice of a softer stone, Ms. Rosetta Stone, Private
Investigator and Psychic Extraordinaire. The feminist femme
fatale is a humanitarian who uses her psychic abilities to spot
pedophiles out of crowds and rescue kids from their efforts, drive
people home without prior knowledge of their addresses and heal Jack's
headaches with her hands.
He learns from her further insight into his rock as well as information
about a crime involving a missing child which occurred where the rock
was found. The two assist to solve the crime together then
antidote other injustices.
They both meet the love of their life. They have a sexy love
affair, where he is he and she is she, which leads them to their
marriage. She solves for him certain mysteries about nature and
human nature. He solves for her everything else.
