Beschreibung

It was the summer of 66, of youthful rebellion, of new found freedoms. Unbeknown to Joe and his friends, they were on the cusp of leaving behind their rebellious ways and embarking on the long and sometimes perilous road of life.
Bob, best friend of Joe, youngest of the bunch, worked hard in the building game, played even harder, no thoughts for what the future held.
Jim, the only one to go to grammar school and it showed. Fed up with his chosen career, he wanted more out of life, but in what direction?
Terry, oldest by a couple of years, got caught out whilst still in his teens. Married with two kids, another on the way. Some people would say he was trapped, but a little thing like marriage never stopped Terry.
Friday night started like every other weekend, but before Monday rolled around, Joe's life changed in a moment. A simple glance across the dance floor, catching the eye of Grace, the most stunning woman he'd ever seen, was just the beginning of a journey shrewn with love, friendships, heartache, deceit, blackmail, betrayal, prison and finally murder.

    No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
    . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
      
    Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
    All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
    Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
    But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
    If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
    Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

    A summer house party in the countryside takes a deadly turn after the abduction of a viscountess. 
     
     
     
    After the shocking events of the spring, Audrey Sinclair and Hugh Marsden are adjusting to their new lives when an apparent highway robbery ends in the violent abduction of Audrey's sister. 
     
     
     
    As callous as Millie has been in the past, Audrey can't turn her back on family. She'll do whatever it takes to find her sister, even if it means working with the man she's been avoiding for months: former Bow Street officer Hugh Marsden. 
     
     
     
    Unsettled with his new role in society, and being deemed one of London's most eligible bachelors, Hugh is happy to fall back on his Bow Street skills to track down Lady Redding—and to see Audrey again. But the viscountess's disappearance is only half of the puzzle. A long-lost ring worth a fortune could be the driving force behind the deadly events, and as Audrey and Hugh unravel the truth—along with the secrets and complications surrounding their future—a killer closes in on the house party . . . and selects a new victim.

    The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution. 
    Santa Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship’s crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death! 
    Throughout this novel, Captain Kruger, Commandant Delgado, Jorge Estrada, and a cast of memorable, migrant characters inhabit a magnificent island that brims with life. Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.
