He again steps into an all-consuming case that takes him from the comforts of his new life to the barren, mountainous terrain of the Sinai Peninsula in search of the killer and an elusive piece of granite, The Sinai Artifact.
The curator’s death and subsequent recovery of the priceless artifact becomes a race across the globe, first to Rome and ultimately to the Middle East, all with deadly consequences. What secrets do the objects hold, and how many innocent victims must die in search of the greatest archeological discovery of all time? Or is the oddly shaped stone something else entirely?
From Lansing’s initial discovery that his prime suspect is not who she first appeared to be, to a cast of conspiratorial characters, the case takes Lansing
halfway around the world.
One time German Stasi agent, Hans Richter, now in the employ of Russia’s clandestine service, orders the murder of an elderly Vatican priest who comes too close to the artifact’s true secret, but it is only the start of Richter’s murderous quest for the priceless stone.
Roadblocks to Richter’s pursuit of the treasure, and Lansing’s relentless hunt to uncover the secret buried in the Sinai, are thwarted by a formidable adversary of Richter, linguist, and expert in biblical languages, Russian archaeologist Irina Kazakov. But for which side is she working?
What are the Russian’s hiding, keeping from the world? Why is the Catholic Church so interested in recovering the oddly shaped stone? Does the centuries old monastery of Santa Katerina and its complement of Greek Orthodox priests hold answer?

The Spanish Teacher
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award
“…De la Cuesta’s novel maintains an accumulating power which holds onto a reader’s attention not only through the forceful figure of Ordóñez, but by demonstrating acutely how ordinary lives are impacted by the underlying social and political landscape. Compelling reading.”
-Tom Tolnay, publisher,
Birch Brook Press and author of Selling America and This Is the Forest Primeval
“Barbara de la Cuesta’s The Spanish Teacher has everything to thrill you-pace, a great balance of description, gesture and action, charmed, perfectly-tuned dialogue, and most notably, a character we follow as closely and sympathetically as if we were living right there inside the story with him… So many books show us a character who seems to capably hang and move like marionettes from the strings of a fairly competent puppeteer, but rarely do we see a full drama like this, where every bit of the writing extends from, grows out of, is part and parcel with the author’s complete realization of and connection to her character…”

When she meets David during her first week on campus her emotions go into overdrive. He is an outgoing, attractive and popular guy with rather a lot more experience in the world than ingénue Cherie. He’s exactly what she would have asked for if it were possible to wish people into existence. They seem to be two sides of a coin. But does he actually care about her?
Swept up by passion, subterfuge, confusion and magnetism; Cherie must untangle what she feels and whether she can believe his love for her is real.
This is a pre- #metoo story about painful love, being a young woman in a less egalitarian time (the close of the 1980’s), betrayal and overcoming it. Cherie’s story is about learning the hard way that people aren’t always what they seem or what we hoped they would be; about healing and growing into independence.
