Cate Martin

Sinossi

Spring, the season of renewal, finally arrives on the North Shore of Lake Superior, and Ingrid Torfa finds herself in a strange new situation.
 
On vacation.
 
She and her grandmother spend their days resting and recuperating in an old cabin overlooking the shores of Lake Superior. She can see modern ships pass by along the shipping lanes on the horizon. But everything around her? Strictly from the Viking Age. Not even the lost Norse village of Villmark lies so far in the past as this lonely cabin.
 
But her restful vacation comes to a sudden end when a stranger knocks on their door. His presence disrupts their quiet lakeside lives even before he turns up dead.
 
Now Ingrid must figure out who wanted the strange old man dead. Because the next target just might be her.

Saints and Sinners - Every Saint...

Ludo Stuart-Douglas

SAINTS AND SINNERS 
Book One of The Rake's Progress Trilogy 
By Ludo Stuart -Douglas 
From the sun-scorched streets of colonial Saigon to the gilded halls of English country houses, "Saints and Sinners" follows the extraordinary life of Jack Drummond—a man born into privilege but forged by adversity. When his violent father's actions force a young Jack to flee Vietnam for the sanctuary of his grandfather's estate, he learns his first crucial lesson: survival isn't just about strength, but adaptability. 
As Jack navigates the treacherous waters of British high society, military service, and the cutthroat world of international business, he blazes a trail of both triumph and scandal. His journey takes him from the polo fields of Argentina to the dangerous backstreets of Bangkok, from Moscow's corridors of power to the wild beauty of Kenya's savannas. Along the way, he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters: the enigmatic Aicha, the fierce Clare, the rebellious Clodagh, and countless others who shape his destiny. 
But when his personal life implodes and a custody battle threatens to tear him away from his beloved daughter, Jack must confront the demons of his past and decide what kind of man he truly wants to be. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world from the 1960s through the 1990s, this sweeping saga combines the social observation of Edward St. Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels with the historical scope of William Boyd's "Any Human Heart." 
Perfect for fans of Evelyn Waugh, Sebastian Faulks, and Julian Fellowes, "Saints and Sinners" offers a masterful exploration of power, privilege, and the price of redemption. With prose that crackles with wit and sophistication, Ludo Stuart-Douglas delivers a compelling tale of love, loss, and the eternal struggle between duty and desire.
