The Mysterious Kingdom of Kulan

You thought you'd never find out what really happened to Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan. Think again. Each of us has felt at some time in our lives, a loss from the disappearance of someone, something strange happening that cannot be explained, let down by people in power, or the feeling that it would be nice to forget our troubles and walk off into the fog. As long as the mystery of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan remains unsolved, people will continue to have what has come to be known as "Earhart fever." Mary Vesta Nickerson has written a fictionalized account of what may have happened to the flyers. Until now, the books that have been written are like fireflies along the river that dart in all directions. To catch all the fireflies you have to run in a different direction each time, making it an impossible task. She has let the fireflies come to her, and she has them all in one brilliantly glowing jar. She has taken all the theories and put them in one jar. One jar, one plausible theory. Mary Vesta Nickerson has never been able to leave a mystery alone. For nearly 20 years, she has been collecting the "fireflies," preparing for the time when she would write her book. THE DECOY AND THE DOVE is a tale of adventure, betrayal, and courage. It is one you do not want to miss.
