  Southern Hospitality with a Smidgen of Homicide 
   
   
   
  I'm a handyman in the Daniel Boone National Park. My main employer is Mae West at the Happy Trails Campground. When I got a phone call to take down some trees on this guy's property for a side hustle, I jumped at the chance. That's one of the biggest money making jobs around these parts. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately I got hauled off to jail after I was accused of being part of an illegal logging crew. Simple enough, I gave Sheriff Hank Sharp the name of the man who hired me, only he was found murdered by one of my tools. 
   
   
   
  Not only am I accused of illegal logging, now I'm the number one suspect in this man's murder. 
   
   
   
  It just creams my corn to be accused of murder. 
   
   
   
  There's only one person I trust to get me out of this mess and that's Maybelline West. 
   
   
   
  I'm sure she, along with her nosy friends, the Laundry Club Ladies, will snoop around to help clear my name.

  Adam Askew, a young man in a hurry, always wanted to be financially independent. Armed with guts, determination and a cocky self-assurance, he sets up a shipping company with a view to take on the world, one ton of cargo at a time.
  Fed up with the cliquey set-up in Durban, he takes a gutsy gamble, the biggest risk of his life, one that will ultimately make or break him. He heads for the big city lights of swanky 80s Joburg and is soon wining and dining at the Top of the Carlton, sipping the best champagne in London and making some enemies along the way.
  Set in the closing decades of the 20th century in sanction-wracked South Africa, Pleasures of the Harbour navigates a world of dodgy business partners, dubious deals and a few failed attempts at love before Adam can finally, and honestly, say he's made it.
  Part adventure, part action, and lots of wheeling and dealing means readers are in for a rollicking ride in this highly entertaining novel that traverses the high seas and low roads of Southern Africa, while opening boardroom and a few bedroom doors along the way.
  Adam Kethro, the author, saw his school years fly by in Welkom, Brakpan and Durban. After two attempts at matric, a short dip as a stoker on the Railways, and a stint in the army's horse division, he began his career in the shipping industry.

  If the world of supernatural creatures is just a bunch of hokum, why does Boston PD have their own paranormal division?

  Sergeant Chloe Mayfield doesn’t think so, but her one cop mission to find the real killer clashes with her orders and she’s already on shaky ground with the higher-ups. All they need is one good reason and she’s out of a job. 
   
  Nevertheless, she feels responsible – Chloe should have spotted the clues and been able to prevent the coven leader’s death. Shouldn’t she? 
   
  Right or wrong, there is a sinister force at work in Boston’s seedy underbelly and Chloe is the only cop in town trying to prevent the next murder. 
   
  She’ll figure it out, be sure of that, but as she gets closer to the truth, will she discover it was always a trap?
