Sinossi

In "Ambrose Lavendale, Diplomat," E. Phillips Oppenheim crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the intricate world of diplomatic intrigue and international relations during the early 20th century. The novel is characterized by Oppenheim's signature style—an engaging blend of suspense, romance, and political drama, all underlined by meticulous attention to the social norms and cultural dynamics of the period. Through the protagonist, Ambrose Lavendale, readers are taken on a journey that explores not only the covert machinations of diplomacy but also the moral complexities faced by individuals in positions of political power. E. Phillips Oppenheim, often hailed as the "Prince of Storytellers," was a prolific British author known for his keen insight into the machinations of power and authority. Having worked as a journalist before turning to fiction, Oppenheim's firsthand experiences with political events and the societal elite undoubtedly shaped his understanding of the era's geopolitical landscapes. His extensive travels and interactions with the upper echelons of society enriched his writing with authenticity and depth, making his portrayal of Lavendale both riveting and thought-provoking. For those who relish novels that deftly intertwine adventure and moral inquiry, "Ambrose Lavendale, Diplomat" is a must-read. The book not only entertains with its thrilling plot and rich characterizations but also provokes critical thought about the nature of diplomacy and ethics in the pursuit of national interests. Oppenheim's exploration of these themes ensures that readers will reflect on the complexities of human motivations long after the final page.

    Power is the deadliest weapon of all.
    When a U.S. nuclear submarine disappears in the North Atlantic, the President wastes no time declaring a national emergency. Rights are suspended. Fear is weaponized. The nation is told the crisis is unavoidable—and necessary.
    But aboard the missing submarine, Commander Darius McCann and ship superintendent Amy Russell uncover a chilling truth. The mission has been manipulated. Orders don't align. And the supposed threat bearing down on American soil appears carefully engineered rather than accidental.
    As panic grips the country, two NCIS investigators on land begin pulling at threads the administration insists must remain buried. What they discover points not to an external enemy, but to a President willing to manufacture catastrophe to consolidate power, silence opposition, and extend his control at any cost.
    With millions of lives hanging in the balance, McCann and Russell are forced into an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk plunging the nation into chaos—or remain silent and allow a corrupt leader to reshape America through fear.
    Set against the claustrophobic tension of a submerged battlefield and the ruthless machinations of the White House, Silent Waters is a gripping political techno-thriller about deception, power, and how easily democracy can be drowned when lies rise to the surface.

    The BRAND NEW gripping cozy mystery from Anita Davison, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Helena Dixon and Verity Bright! 🔎Nobody should be in the market… for murder! 🩸 
    Even though its famous opera house has shuttered its doors for the war, Covent Garden remains one of the most exciting, bustling areas of London. It’s where Hannah Merrill and Aunt Violet have their bookshop and, in spite of the recent spate of burglaries in the area, it’s generally thought to be a good neighbourhood. 
    So Hannah is surprised when she sees a fellow shopkeeper – a jeweller named Jacob Cornelis – having a heated argument with a stranger. Especially when the next day Cornelis is found dead in his shop, apparently the victim of another burglary. 
    But what shocks Hannah more is when she meets the policeman supposedly there to investigate the crime. Because he is none other than the man who Hannah saw arguing with Cornelis the day before. 
    Hannah knows it’s up to her and Violet to investigate. But they don’t know they’re about to uncover a secret underworld of theft, murder and blackmail. And they must act fast, before the Covent Garden Killer strikes again…

    London, 1899. A shocking murder is discovered at the heart of the Tower of London. The dead body of a Yeoman Warder is found inside a suit of armour belonging to Henry VIII, having been run through with a sword, and when details of this outrage are reported to the Prince of Wales, he fears this may be an expression of Republican unrest striking at the very home of the Crown Jewels. In the hopes of hampering the spread of news about the crime, the Prince reluctantly calls upon the services of Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton, the museum detectives, to investigate further.
    As their inquiries proceed, Wilson and Fenton learn about the long and bloody history of the Tower of London, but dark deeds are not confined to the Tower's shadowy past. More bones will see the light of day and the twists and turns of a dastardly plot will unravel before the museum detectives' case is closed.
