Synopsis

It seemed like just another burglary, a not unusual art theft from a villa in a luxury private estate in Marbella. It was a smoothly executed robbery by what appeared to be an international and highly professional gang. But what at first appeared to be a simple theft, by the next day was a robbery and two murders. The investigation begins in the prison of Alhaurín de la Torre and continues in Puerto Banús, where it follows the trail of a private yacht owned by a character who hides behind a diplomatic passport, although, in reality, he is an agent of his country's secret services, with dark and powerful connections in the highest echelons.
The resolution of this complex case involves the participation of the Spanish National Intelligence Services together with the crucial work of an agent infiltrated into the organisation responsible for investigating the criminal venture. If successful, the operation would have international, diplomatic and economic ramifications.

The resolution of this complex case involves the participation of the Spanish National Intelligence Services together with the crucial work of an agent infiltrated into the organisation responsible for investigating the criminal venture. If successful, the operation would have international, diplomatic and economic ramifications. The only solution is an extraordinary international collaboration to prevent the criminals achieving their objectives.
It is a story in which thieves, con men, spies, secret agents, bogus diplomats, corruption and treachery intermingle. A story in which the plot moves at a fast pace, with a totally unexpected ending.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

    The French Riviera, 1925 
    Disgraced society “it” girl, Lady Caroline, has been shipped off to the French Riviera to spend remedial time with gout-impaired Uncle Albert. Her crime? An ill-advised scavenger hunt through London, with social-status-ruinous consequences. 
    Now, instead of pinching police helmets, this Bright Young Thing is pursuing her uncle’s latest hobby along the rocky cliffs of the Cote d’Azur. 
    But all is not misery in Lady Caroline’s life. Murder brightens up what could otherwise be a terribly dull existence. First, a well-connected seductress is poisoned at the roulette table, then the Riviera’s preeminent villa architect slips off the bluffs into the turquoise Mediterranean Sea idling below. 
    As the bodies mount, the local police suspect someone is boosting their way up the social ladder through nefarious means. 
    Lady Caroline has a different idea. Always up for a good scavenger hunt, she can’t resist following the trail of clues to the killer. 
    Murder at the Grand Hotel is Book 1 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.

    A parable from the 1950s that is just as relevant today.It's the 1950s. After a nuclear blast in the mid-Pacific, a Thoreau-reading American Air Force General makes an unexpected and troubling discovery: In a flowery field on a tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean, is an angel— its beautiful face frozen in a death mask and its huge wings wrapped around an inert body. As the general ponders this mystery, the Soviets discover their own angel after a similar nuclear test in Siberia. Are these twin phenomena a ploy in the ongoing hostilities between two international powers? Or has divine intervention pointed the way toward a new political era?
    Out of the confusion and dismay provoked by the discovery of these ethereal messengers comes a message both simple and profound. Originally published in 1955, this enchanting, sometimes chilling novella tackles a question that has plagued humankind since civilization began: How can we live together in peace?
