The Jamaican High Commissioner

Christopher Allan Powell

Sinossi

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.

Schoolmaster and the Empire The...

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
THE SCHOOLMASTER AND THE EMPIRE: "If Youth but Knew" is the title of a book published some years ago, but still with a quite living interest, by "Kappa"; it is the bitter complaint of a distressed senior against our educational system.

Victorian Ghost Story The -...

Mary Louisa Molesworth,...

Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians. 
 
When you consider the depth of literary talent available over the extraordinary length of Queen Victoria’s reign, allied to the fascination with their all things spiritual on ‘the other side’, then perhaps it’s simply right place, right time.  
 
Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your reading and listening pleasure.
