Synopsis

In "A Treatise on the Crime of Onan," S. A. D. Tissot presents a compelling exploration of the moral, theological, and psychological dimensions surrounding the biblical figure Onan and his actions. Through a meticulous analysis of biblical texts and historical interpretations, Tissot employs a scholarly tone enriched with philosophical inquiry and critical thought. The treatise situates itself within the broader discourse of 18th-century European Enlightenment, where reason challenged traditional dogmas, and addresses the implications of Onan's story on contemporary ethics, sexuality, and societal norms. S. A. D. Tissot, a prominent figure in medical and ethical discourse of his time, utilized his background in both medicine and theology to address the complexities of human behavior and morality. His institutional affiliations and personal experiences likely contributed to his interest in sexuality and its ramifications in society, leading to this incisive examination. Tissot's work reflects a synthesis of Enlightenment rationalism and religious tradition, offering a nuanced perspective on issues of sin, society, and self-regulation. For readers interested in the intersection of theology, morality, and history, Tissot's treatise stands as an essential text. Its scholarly rigor and relevance to ongoing debates about sexuality and ethics make it an invaluable resource for theologians, historians, and anyone seeking to understand the cultural implications of biblical narratives. This work is not only a historical inquiry but also a provocative challenge to reconsider the foundations of modern ethical perspectives.

    As the walls of the house at Predicament Avenue reveal their hidden truths, two women--generations apart--discover that fear and foreboding are no respecters of time. 
     
    In 1910, Effie James is committed to doing anything to save her younger sister, who witnessed a shocking murder, leaving her mute and in danger of the killer's retribution. Effie must prove what her sister saw, but when a British gentleman arrives, he disrupts Effie's quest with his attempts to locate his wife, Isabelle Addington, who was last seen at the supposed crime scene in the abandoned house at 322 Predicament Avenue. Just as Effie discovers what she seeks, she finds that the blood staining the walls will forever link her to a scandal she couldn't imagine, and to a woman whose secrets promise to curse any who would expose them. 
     
    A century later, Norah Richman grapples with social anxiety and grief as she runs her late great-aunt's bed-and-breakfast on Predicament Avenue. But Norah has little affection for the house and is committed only to carrying out her murdered sister's dreams until crime historian and podcaster Sebastian Blaine arrives to investigate the ghostly legacy of the house's claim to fame--the murder of Isabelle Addington. When a guest is found dead, the incident is linked to Isabelle's murder, and Norah and Sebastian must work together to uncover the century-old curse that has wrapped 322 Predicament Avenue in its clutches and threatens far more than death.

    Smitten by her delicate loveliness, the dashingly decadent Darril, Earl of Charncliffe  rolls her up in a rug like Cleopatra and whisks her away under the nose of Napoleon Bonaparte himself.
     
    Posing as honeymooning newlyweds, they flee with a gang of bloodthirsty revolutionaries hard on their heels and, hardly daring to believe that she has not lost her head to the guillotine, a trembling Lynetta suddenly knows that she has lost her heart.
