La Puerta Cerrada del Oriente es un libro basado en mi tesis al Doctorado en la Universidad Bautista de Louisiana en el 2015. En este trabajo hablo de la experiencia de mis viajes a Israel, sobre las puertas alrededor del muro de Jerusalén, pero enfatizo “La Puerta Cerrada del Oriente.” Así como Dios usó a Augusto César para promulgar un edicto y llamó a todos al empadronamiento, José siendo de la ciudad de David, fue a Belén a empadronarse. Estando allí, se cumple la profecía que María daría a luz a Jesús. Dios usa a Augusto César que nada tenía que ver con Dios ni con Su escritura, es usado para llevar acabo el cumplimiento de una profecía. De la misma manera, Dios usa al Sultán Solimán el Magnífico en 1517 para cerrar la puerta Dorada, la puerta del Oriente de Jerusalén, cuando se dio cuenta que por esa puerta entraría el Mesías a reinar. El al estilo Herodes que manda matar a todos los niños, El Magnífico en su paranoia, mandó cerrar la puerta para que no entrara por allí el Mesías. Al hacer eso cumplió con la profecía de Ezequiel 40:4.

An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.

Raised in Japan by American expatriates, Karen Leith now lives a reclusive life in New York, known chiefly for her highly regarded novels, of which the latest has won a major American literary award. When she is found on the floor behind her desk, surrounded by blood, it looks like foul play. But the only possible suspect is Leith’s future daughter-in-law, Eva, who has recently become engaged. Eva swears by her innocence, even though she was the last to hear Leith alive and the first to find her dead. Eva was waiting outside Leith’s office to share the happy news and maintains that no one entered through that door, while the room's other possible exit was locked. The only one who can help her clear her name is mystery writer Ellery Queen, an acquaintance of the victim through New York’s literary circles. Queen intends to unravel the locked-room mystery, but with no murder weapon and too many incriminating fingerprints, this case just might be one even he can’t solve.
