Book Cover & Preview Text
His daughter came across his lifeless, unresponsive body in a shockingly unexpected manner. The old patriarch well slumped into the living room bedlike couch, wearing an all-white outfit from head to toe, had been gone for a while and nothing could have brought him back to this earthy vain existence of ours. To be sure nothing could remedy the obvious, she meticulously checked and doubled-checked tenets indicative of one’s heavenly departure. The old patriarch’s pupils were fixed and well dilated. He had no reflexes whatsoever. His heart had no beat sound, and no pulse could be found from this motionless body. There was no sign of him breathing either. Who killed him? Was this a homicide? Suicide? Natural death? What happened? How did we get to such a tragedy, some might wonder? To answer these questions and many more, it seems imperative to rewind the story and revisit where it all started.
