A young nurse, Sara Dautry--whose autistic brother, Vince, has been arrested for the murder of their Catholic priest--decides to conduct her own investigation. Refusing to believe that he committed the crime, even though he was found at the murder scene with the alleged weapon, she convinces her former nursing-school study group to help her prove his innocence by using hypnosis to travel back to the moment of the crime. When the FBI finds out her plan, they try to stop her by using weather manipulation. They fear that if she does find out the truth about the priest's murder, she will want to go public with the information-especially since it could incriminate them. And when the Vatican learns that the crime scene was damaged by wind to possibly hide evidence, they think the U.S. government may have been involved. Then for fear of hostility between the Vatican and the U.S., the CIA launches their own investigation. Along the way, Sara learns that Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh and the Shroud of Turin have some hidden secrets that could change the way believers think about the Roman Catholic Church. She also learns that it's not always a good idea to experiment with science.Thus by unraveling a massive conspiracy involving powerful political players, Sara's life--as well as the lives of her friends and family--is put in danger.

As a five year old I encountered a picture of a young man in a rakish hat and a yellow coat, on the wall of a large classroom. There was something instantly intriguing about the image, but it was also puzzling because it represented neither politician nor prince, the usual fare for Australian school decorations. I was eventually told that this was a reproduction of a painting, the artist was Vincent van Gogh, and that the subject was some young Frenchman. On special days we assembled in that room and during the next several years I found myself gazing beyond visiting speakers at the fellow in the yellow jacket. It was almost another fifty years before I felt properly conversant with the portrait and realized that van Gogh's subject, Armand Roulin, was seventeen at the time ofthe original painting and had died at seventy-four during my schoolboy contemplations. In the interim my enjoyment of the works of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists had grown and I occasionally ran into the name of Dr. Gachet, Vincent's last attending physician, in books and catalog essays. The doctor was my entree to the overlapping charms of medical and art histories. In 1987 I had the good fortune to participate as a biochemist in the centenary celebration of the Pasteur Institut in Paris.

'.....at 191-9 Vincent walked in to bat. Instead of facing a spin bowler he had to face Merv McDagger, the fastest, and meanest bowler the world had ever known. This giant of a man ran in from the boundary like a bull charging at a gate, his moustache flapping wildly in the wind, with steam coming out of his ears, and bulging red eyes. He could bowl at 100 miles per hour. Vincent was very worried. He had been given lots of arm guards to cover his exceedingly long arm, but he was more worried about his head ' Vincent Von Googly, and his exceedingly long arm, is the story of a boy born with a 58 foot long arm. It leads to a life full of extraordinary tales and ridiculous scenarios. This book is a good fun tale about a boy who wins the Ashes, the Football World Cup, and the Rugby World cup almost single-handedly. For children aged from 5 and upwards.
