Sinopse

Death of a 130-year Oligarchy.Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series.In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance.Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges.While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.

    In the seedy underworld of Las Vegas, an elite game takes place behind the velvet curtain of privilege and deceit. Welcome to the electrifying twenty-first episode of the Solitaire Series—"The Five of Diamonds." 
    Enter Cynthia, or as the criminal underbelly knows her, Janice—a cunning FBI agent submerged deep undercover in a labyrinth of high-stakes gambling and moral compromise. This night should be no different; a routine hand in the backroom tables where $5,000 is just the ante. But when Cynthia's evening takes an unexpected and perilous turn, the deck is suddenly stacked against her. 
    Caught in a web of blurred visions and suspicious allies, Cynthia is rescued from the brink by Jake, a fellow card shark with secrets as cryptic as her own. But who is Jake, really? And why does he cling to the shadows of memory and unsolved riddles? Janet's world turns upside down as she wakes from a drug-induced haze, and the cold confines of an unknown room become her reality. 
    As a twisted alliance unfolds, this seemingly solid façade of a gambling operation unravels into a sinister plot of deception, where predatory gaming masks a darker, drug-fueled agenda. Can two undercover agents from rival factions—Janet, the Queen of her own perilous game, and Jake of the DEA—tear down the house of cards threatening to imprison them both? 
    The answers lie within Solitaire, the corrupt organization reigning supreme over Vegas's illicit empire, where everyone holds their breath for the gamble of their lives. Explore the duplicitous dynamics and rising tempos of intrigue with Episode 20 of the Solitaire Series. Chance, betrayal, and a shot in the dark dictate the place at the table in this high-stakes showdown. Will the Five of Diamonds be Cynthia's final draw, or her ultimate escape?
