Book Description
Nauplia, huddled together on the edge of its glittering bay, and grilled beneath the hot stress of the midsummer noon, stood silent as a city of the dead. Down the middle of the main street, leading up from the quay to the square, lay a scorching ribbon of sunshine, and the narrow strips of shadow, sharp cut and blue, spoke of the South. Along one side of the square ran the barracks of the Turkish garrison of occupation, two-storied buildings of brown stone, solid but airless, and faced with a line of arcade. These contained the three companies of men who were stationed in the town itself, less fortunate in this oven of heat than the main part of the garrison who held the airier fortress of Palamede behind, overlooking the plain from a height of five hundred feet.

Book Description
This thrilling tale has everything you could possibly want: murder, mystery, romance, scandal, and humor! It is set on one of the smaller Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa. Strange things are happening on this beautiful island of La Gomera. People are disappearing, fish are vanishing, businesses are failing, and lives are being wrecked. Marias family and friends unwittingly stumble across evidence of a very nasty crime in this quiet holiday paradise. Blackmail, corruption, fraud, and bribery have allowed the horrific scam to continue undetected for some considerable time. The local police are not remotely interested, so desperation forces them to take matters into their own hands. What terrible tragedy lurks beyond the black rocks? What horror is hidden in the deep ravines that dissect this beautiful island? As the story unfolds in various stunning locations, the net closes in ever more tightly around the criminals involved. Then when you think justice will finally prevail, there are two breathtaking twists in the jigsaw of crime, which thwart all the careful unraveling of the web of intrigue. You will be absolutely riveted until the very last sentence. Enjoy!

Book Description
In 1952, John Taverner, recently discharged from the British army, meets Felix Mole by chance on platform three of the Swindon railway station. Mole is the owner of Sam’s, a saloon and gaming establishment in Tangier. Over a British railways breakfast, Felix offers John a job looking after the accounts at Sam’s, should he ever be in Tangier. Disillusioned with life in postwar England, young Taverner throws caution to the wind and takes off for Morocco for a new life in the International Zone that is Tangier. He finds on his arrival that in spite of his lack of experience, Felix wants him to not only manage the accounts, but take over the running of Sam’s. The people he works with in Tangier are a far cry from those in his native Dorset, and the adventures he experiences are far beyond anything he would ever have imagined, including smuggling, the Cold War, and relationships of a romantic nature.
