Sinopsis

A dying pilot’s last breath whispers a single, chilling word, “The Octopus”.
 
Across the Congo, the drums of war are beating a secret message. 
 
And a continent is about to burn, and only a ghost of the jungle can stop it.
 
In the treacherous heart of the Belgian Congo, Deon Rossouw, the man they call the Jungle Hawk, rules the treetops. But when he rescues a mysterious aviator shot from the sky, he uncovers a coded diary and a deadly conspiracy. A ruthless shadow organization is poisoning the land, preparing to unleash a bloody, continent-wide uprising.
 
The trail of espionage leads to The Hammer, a secret mountain fortress where a Russian mastermind commands an army in secret. When the beautiful Lena Landman is captured to be sacrificed to their twisted god, the mission becomes brutally personal. If the Hawk fails, Lena faces a fiery death, and millions will perish in a war orchestrated to bring a continent to its knees.
 
Fusing the non-stop action of a classic pulp adventure with the heart pounding tension of a Cold War thriller, this story is a must-read for fans of high stakes suspense and jungle survival. Perfect for readers who love the classic adventures of Tarzan and the modern thrills of James Rollins or Clive Cussler.
 
The drums are thundering, and a continent holds its breath. Will you answer the call? Discover The Octopus and start your adventure today!

    "The Adventure of the Second Stain", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Second Stain" eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories.
    Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work. If divulged, this document could bring about very dire consequences for all Europe, even war. They are loath to tell Holmes at first the exact nature of the document's contents, but when Holmes declines to take on their case, they tell him that it was a rather injudicious letter from a foreign potentate. It disappeared from the dispatch box one evening when Hope's wife was out at the theatre for four hours. No-one in the house knew about the document, not even the Secretary's wife. None of the servants could have guessed what was in the box.

    It’s just another day in Paradise, if Paradise was in Detroit. 
    In the quaint, coastal town of Port St. Joe, FL, Sheriff Evan Caldwell had been called out to the fancy new development to appease its influential owner and look into his missing shrubbery. He did not go out there to work a homicide, but since the old man in the pajamas probably didn’t bury himself, a homicide investigation is pretty much mandatory. 
    Finding out how and when the man died, and who killed and/or buried him, would be a lot easier if the Gulf County Medical Examiner hadn’t gone missing, and easier still if he hadn’t subsequently had the temerity to turn up dead. 
    Now Evan and his deputies have two deaths on their hands, and Evan’s life is further complicated by a county commissioner who thinks he knows something about law enforcement, a bright but morally ambiguous defense attorney trying to make a name for herself by ruining Evan, and a cat who seems unwilling to make himself more likable. 
    This is the third book in the Still Waters Suspense Series, a series known for its rich, coastal atmosphere, dry humor, and multilayered characters. See why The Still Waters Suspense Series has earned thousands of five-star reviews. Get your copy today!
