Sinopse

Mr. Hardross Courage is a wealthy young Englishman whose life has been carefree and uneventful. He plays cricket for his county, he attends to the management of his estates, he serves as a local magistrate. He has never taken any interest in a career of any sort. On a trip to London to participate in a cricket match, Hardross is confronted by a man who forces his way into his hotel room imploring him to hide him. His reason, “They want to kill me.” So begins a tale that is likely to change Hardross’ idyllic life forever to one of mystery and espionage. The Great Secret is an entertaining tale of adventure. If you have a fondness for early 20th century spy fiction you should find this to be an entertaining read.

    A Shot at Freedom and Shadows of the Past
     
    Carl wasn't one for chances, but this mission was supposed to be his lifeline. A simple entry, unseen—except nothing is simple in a city built on deceit. Knocking on a door guarded by barking shadows, Carl clutches at an elusive freedom, a card dealt from the edge of the abyss.
     
    Inside, Carl is thrust into a game far deadlier than Solitaire ever promised. The room swells with whispers of betrayal, each figure a ghost from a past he can’t place. Guns flash like lightning in a storm of moral ambiguity. As bullets fly and identities unravel, Carl stares down destiny’s barrel, wondering just who he’ll become on the other side. In a den of secrets, only one question remains: who walks away when the smoke clears?
