Summary

From the sun-soaked shores of Jamaica to the shadowy streets of London, The Jamaican High Commissioner unfolds a pulse-pounding tale of deception and danger.
 
Mason Smith, a distinguished officer of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, is handpicked for a mission that defies logic — arrest the revered Jamaican High Commissioner on charges of murder. But the cold, foggy streets of London conceal more than just secrets; they harbour a deadly conspiracy that threatens to engulf Mason.
 
Enter Alexis Morgan — a stunning British-Moroccan beauty with piercing eyes and a lethal skill set. Sensual, enigmatic, and utterly ruthless, Alexis is no ordinary woman. She’s a trained assassin working for Greycorp, a shadowy multinational with deep roots in the global sugar trade. Her target? Robinson — the lead negotiator of the high-stakes ACP/EU sugar talks. He knows too much, and Greycorp will stop at nothing to silence him.
 
As Mason and Alexis's paths collide, betrayal lurks in every alley, danger dances with desire, and the line between friend and foe blurs. Time is running out, and Mason must untangle a web of lies before London becomes his final resting place.

    The Time Machine is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device. Utilizing a frame story set in then-present Victorian England, Wells' text focuses on a recount of the otherwise anonymous Time Traveller's journey into the far future. A work of future history and speculative evolution, Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells' era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively.[2][3] It is believed that Wells' depiction of the Eloi as a race living in plentitude and abandon was inspired by the utopic romance novel News from Nowhere (1890), though Wells' universe in the novel is notably more savage and brutal.
