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.

    Zach Wells is a perpetually dissatisfied geologist-slash-paleobiologist. Expert in a very narrow area—the geological history of a cave forty-four meters above the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon—he is a laconic man who plays chess with his daughter, trades puns with his wife while she does yoga, and dodges committee work at the college where he teaches. 
     
     
     
    After a field trip to the desert yields nothing more than a colleague with a tenure problem and a student with an unwelcome crush on him, Wells returns home to find his world crumbling. His daughter has lost her edge at chess, she has developed mysterious eye problems, and her memory has lost its grasp. Powerless in the face of his daughter's slow deterioration, he finds a mysterious note asking for help tucked into the pocket of a jacket he's ordered off eBay. Desperate for someone to save, he sets off to New Mexico in secret on a quixotic rescue mission. 
     
     
     
    A deeply affecting story about the lengths to which loss and grief will drive us, Telephone is a Percival Everett novel we should have seen coming all along, one that will shake you to the core as it asks questions about the power of narrative to save.
