Book excerpt: Written with a wry, witty narrative voice and a plot full of twists and turns, John Keyse-Walker’s Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning debut is a pure delight. As a Special Constable, Teddy Creque is the only police presence on the remote, sun-drenched island of Anegada, nestled in the heart of the British Virgin Islands. In all his years on the job, Teddy has never considered the possibility that he might have to address an actual crime on his peaceful island. That is, until he receives a hysterical call about a dead man on the beach. Indeed, Teddy is shocked to discover Paul Kelliher, a biologist who traveled to the island every winter for research, lying dead on the sands of the island’s most remote beach, killed by a single shot to the head. And when the BVI’s “real police” task Teddy with informing Kelliher’s nearest kin of his death, Teddy makes an even more surprising discovery: there’s no record that Paul Kelliher ever existed. Suddenly Teddy’s routine life is thrown into tumult as he tries to track a killer—against his boss’s wishes—while balancing his complicated family life, three other jobs, and the colorful characters populating the island around him.

American heiress Amanda Fortini is one such thrill-seeker - until she heads out for a morning swim and doesn't return.

Download or read book A POCKET FULL OF WRY written by Mark Charlton-Kings and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my career I have flown all over the world, so have sat for ages in airports waiting for the damn planes to arrive or depart. It was during these useless, yet precious hours, that I began writing my short stories: in 'Gullible's Travels' I describe some of my misadventures. Some stories are unashamedly 'chick lit', while others are more worldly. A few are personal and true, while some are deliberately condensed within a 60 or 100 word limit. In one story I write as a child to describe events during WWII: I have also included one children's story. The surprising details of Shakespeare's bequests in 'Will' are totally accurate. In 'Eyes of Hope' I describe the emotions of a girl of Turkish and Greek Cypriot origin during and after the Turkish Invasion of 1974. I wrote 'Koala Country' on my way home from Australia while another story describes the feelings of a frustrated and jealous colleague of Bridget Jones. Like conspiracy theories?'The Death of Napoleon'contends he was murdered.

Download or read book LOST TO TWO WORLDS written by J Michael Bailey and published by Ravello Books. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “LOST TO TWO WORLDS is a sad reflection of our times, when evil men do evil things yet flourish without misgivings, while good men can anguish a lifetime from childhood trauma that permanently defines them. The story unfolds over two centuries on three continents. It focuses on the lives of two men whose characters are diametrically opposed: Benjamin Boyd, a Scotsman and a real-life, historic pioneer who arrives in Australia in 1842, and a fictional character named Daniel Hannaford, a mining engineer born in Australia in 1953. A man with few redeeming qualities, Boyd stops at nothing, including murder and a form of slavery known as blackbirding, all to satiate his excessive personal needs and a driving ambition to restore his family’s fortunes. 173 years later, Daniel Hannaford accepts an engineering contract on the small island of Lucaya in the Caribbean. Disturbed by a tormented past and an irresolute personality, Daniel meets Brianna, a Jamaican bartender at an island government party. That same evening, both are witness to a brutal attack on a woman, encouraged by the island’s premier and perpetrated by the son of an influential British Lord and billionaire. Separated by almost two hundred years, the two stories, narrated in juxtaposition, illustrate the good and evil of two very different men, one driven by greed and ambition and the other tormented by his past and the guilt of loving two women.” Excerpt From Lost To Two Worlds J Michael Bailey This material may be protected by copyright.

Download or read book The Cardiff Five written by Satish Sekar and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fresh edition of Satish Sekar’s classic work brings events up to date as at 2017 and includes matters that the author was prevented from publishing sooner. Among other things it deals with the collapse of the 2011 trial of police officers and others concerning the original miscarriage of justice in this case and in a new Epilogue calls for a Truth and Justice Commission. The author shows how this extreme miscarriage of justice destroyed families, divided communities and undermined confidence in the criminal justice system. The book takes the reader from the sadistic killing of Lynette White in Cardiff in 1988, via the subsequent investigation and trial to the aftermath of the folding of the 2011 trial over ‘lost’ documents that later materialised. But above all it deals with the hard scientific facts of the first vindication case of the DNA-age.
