Summary

‘Far From Nowhere’ is a gripping and shocking thriller about the evil world of modern slavery. The reader is plunged into a dangerous drama of vengeance and redemption.Retired police officers are forced to open an unresolved cold case, finding themselves confronting the evils of slavery, they race against impossible odds to unravel the mystery, a quest that drags them down into the underbelly of society. Risking everything, as they try to prevent the degeneracy being inflicted on innocents trafficked across the globe; thwarted by political corruption and indifference, they are driven toward a violent life-or-death confrontation, as one side sinks deeper into depravity, and the other searches for the grace of atonement.

    Clotilde Augusta Inez Mary Graves was born on the 3rd June 1863 at Buttevant Castle, Co. Cork, to parents with military backgrounds. 
    At age nine, the family moved to Southsea in England for yet another military posting.  Her father’s postings gave her valuable experiences that would be put to good use in later years in some of her literary works. 
    She was educated at a Catholic convent in Lourdes before returning to London in 1884 to study art in Bloomsbury.  She worked part-time at the British Museum and the Royal Female School of Art and generated further income by drawing little pen-and-ink grotesques for the comic papers.  
    A few years later a chance meeting found her writing extra lyrics for a pantomime version of Puss in Boots.  She followed up with several financially successful plays, both in London and New York, and gained a measure of notoriety in one with the comparison of marriage and prostitution.   
    Despite her dramatic success she published her first novel in 1911 under the pseudonym of Richard Dehan which she continued to use for later works.  As well as novels and plays she published collections of short stories which glow with talent and invention. 
    She was an unusual figure in London society, wearing her hair short, taking on a masculine manner and cut of clothing, and smoking cigarettes in public when such traits were considered eccentric at best.  Add to this her admired collection of Chinese and Japanese trophies, her enthusiasm for fly-fishing and her riding of a tricycle and you have a perfect image of this fascinating writer. 
    Clotilde Graves died at the convent of Our Lady of Lourdes at Hatch End in Middlesex, on the 3rd December 1932.  She was 69.

    Description:
    Vivian Hale discovers her boyfriend of six years has been getting very close to someone else.
    
    She reads every message. Stays completely calm.
    
    And realizes, with more relief than heartbreak, that she stopped loving him a long time ago.
    
    The problem? She needs him to actually cheat — fully, on the record, in front of witnesses — before she can walk away clean. So Vivian does what any logical woman would do: she engineers her own perfect exit, one perfectly staged confrontation at a time.
    
    Sharp, funny, and surprisingly tender, *The Perfectly Bad Girlfriend* is a story about falling out of love gracefully, falling in love accidentally, and the quietly radical act of choosing yourself — even when it means admitting you're not exactly the hero of your own story.
    
    *Sometimes the person who needs to be caught isn't the cheater.*

    Insane with grief, Sand vows to destroy a terrorist cabal 
     
     
     
    Ever since he took the vows of the samurai, Robert Sand has been ready to die. But now, for the first time in his life, he has a reason to live. Her name is Ann, and he sits beside her, awaiting takeoff for Geneva, when terrorists seize the plane. Holding guns on the passengers and crew, they douse the cabin in liquor and light a fire that will burn until it reaches the gas tanks. The terrorists flee as smoke fills the plane, but one lingers—a Japanese killer with a vendetta against the black samurai. He puts two bullets in Ann's back, and even Sand's lightning reflexes are not fast enough to save her. 
     
      
     
    The Sword of Allah, the most feared terrorist organization on the planet, planned the attack. Its next operation threatens to turn the Cold War up to a boil, but they made one foolish mistake. Robert Sand is angry, and will have his revenge.
