Summary

When Andrew Tallente, after loosing his seat in Parlament, struck his secretary, Anthony Palliser, who had conspired with Andrew’s wife and stolen precious political papers from him, he did not expect to see Palliser crash through the railing at the cliff edge and go sprawling into the mists below. Upon search below, no trace of either Palliser or the stolen papers could be found.Andrew’s wife left him, but Lady Jane Parthington, a neigbour, succeeded in restoring partially his lost confidence in himself, and he took prominent place in the councils of the newly-formed Democratic party. Subsequently, the missing papers, which were of such nature as to make the trade-unions inimical to Tallente and the new party, should they be printed, turned up in dangerous hands.There is excitement aplenty in this story of English politics. Mr. Oppenheims inventive genious is unfailing, and, as always, his dexterity in creating tangles and then unraveling them brings surprise after surprise to the reader.

    Bali Book Intro 
    Jeff Morrison thought he'd found everything he'd been searching for in Bali. 
    Love. Opportunity. A second chance at life. 
    He was wrong about all of it. 
    The Instagram romance that felt like fate. The devoted wife who seemed too good to be true.  
    The business partnership promising wealth and freedom. Every piece was part of an elaborate con—a trap set by criminals who'd perfected their scam on dozens of victims before Jeff. 
    Now he's fighting for survival. His money is gone. He's facing false criminal charges.  
    The woman he married has disappeared. And the ruthless syndicate behind it all wants him silenced, broken, or dead. 
    With nowhere to turn in a country where the law can be bought, and the mafia operates openly, Jeff must outsmart predators who've made a fortune destroying lives like his. 
    Based on true events, YOU WILL DIE IN BALI reveals the nightmare hidden behind Bali's postcard-perfect beaches—and one man's desperate fight to escape with his life.

    Dr. Lena Calder is the world's foremost expert on cults. She knows how they recruit, how they control, and how they convince ordinary people to surrender everything. Her knowledge is professional—and deeply personal. She understands the machinery of cults from the inside. She was raised in one.
    
     
    Now she works to tear them apart.
    
     
    South of San Francisco, a mountain retreat offers something the modern world has forgotten how to provide: silence.
    
     
    Amidst the overwhelm of smartphones, digital addiction, and pervasive mass media, The Solen Center offers people suffering from anxiety, distraction, and stress a unique path to relief.
    
     
    No phones. No talking. Only the body, the breath, and a focus on one's hands.
    
     
    People arrive burned out and leave utterly transformed. The waiting list runs to months.
    
     
    But unbeknownst to them, inside the therapeutic practice is a secret that turns visitors into future unwitting operatives—committing acts for some of the world's most dangerous people, with no memory of having done so.
    
     
    A peculiar nineteen-minute gap in three apparently unrelated crimes leads Lena to the Solen Center. What she finds there suggests thousands of untraceable, unsolved crimes.
    
     
    But the only way to prove it is for Lena to join.
