What a great premise! Wenzel uses a construed historical rumor regarding a few of C. S. Lewis's friends with occult leanings as the basis for his fictitious plot in A Witch in the Wardrobe. -Susan Pollosaari Cowper -------------------------------------  ------------------------------ “From war-torn Northern Ireland to the hallowed halls of an American Evangelical college, L. D. Wenzel takes us on an exciting journey full of action and nail-biting tension. Controversial aspects of C. S. Lewis’s legacy are also ingeniously woven into the story. This is definitely a book that I can highly recommend.” —Lasse Heimdal, general secretary, Kirkens SOS, Norway ____________________  - This mismatched duo of a Christian College profes- sor and an Irish goth paramilitary is an excellent secret societies, and a ruthless antagonist who is backed by shady corporate interests. There's a kind of Dan Brown/Stieg Larsson feel to this project in terms of elaborate conspiracies and unlikely but men and post-punk female warriors. ---Dr. Stephen Carver, liturature professor at East Anglia University ____________________ |
A Witch in the
Wardrobe
An
Evangelical Thriller
Belfast, Northern Ireland—2004. Shannon Dillon (26) uncovers a hidden document in a cramped, dimly lit attic, sparking speculation that beloved author C. S. Lewis had once been involved in the Occult. When gangsters steal the controversial paper, they leave a trail of death. Shannon, once trained as an IRA sniper, vows revenge. Leaving home for America, she recruits Simon Magister (34), a nerdy literature professor at an evangelical college. Against his Christian scruples, Simon is drawn in by scholarly curiosity and a repressed attraction to Shannon. Together, they are thrust into a deadly race to retrieve the coveted 'Belfast Document,' which she believes will lead to the killer. Shannon and Simon navigate treacherous waters and become entangled in a violent conflict between opposing evangelical groups, both eager to possess the document's content and power. Amid the turmoil, a slow-burn romance arises between the two. "A Witch in the Wardrobe" is a thrilling exploration of religious intrigue, blending faith, conspiracy, violence, romance—and the complex nuances of the Evangelical experience.
