Sinossi

Detective Inspector Stanley Low. Belligerent, bipolar and brilliant.  A Chinese-Singaporean, educated in London with a foot in both cities, his mission to eradicate violent crime wherever he finds it. Twelve women are found in the back of a truck, dumped in the Essex marshlands. They all have knives but have nothing to say, except Grace. She will only speak to DI Stanley Low. Brought in to assist with the case Low finds himself dealing with a global trafficking ring and a high-profile billionaire with connections that reach into the darkest corners of power. As one by one his witnesses are killed off, he has no choice but to return to Singapore to examine the darkest corners of the Asian city in his hunt for the traffickers. He must hurry. Another truck is being prepared. Another twelve, vulnerable women are being groomed. Low can only find them if he uncovers the ugliest of truths.  The fourth novel in the critically acclaimed Inspector Low series proves that some crimes have no borders, and some detectives won't stop until justice is served.

    Lee Harvey Oswald The Lost...

    In the summer of 1963, as the political climate simmered with tension, Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who was later accused of the the assassin of President John F. Kennedy, found himself in the spotlight in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. This intriguing prelude to the tragic events of November 22 unfolded through Oswald's twice-prominent presence on local New Orleans radio programs. These historical recordings feature Oswald's appearances on New Orleans radio station WDSU. The first broadcast occurred on August 17, 1963, followed by a second airing just four days later on August 21, 1963. These dates, unbeknownst to many at the time, marked a mere three months before Oswald's infamous alleged act that would change the course of American history. 
     
    Remarkably composed during these radio interviews, Oswald engaged in articulate discussions on pressing political matters, predominantly centering around the strained relations between the United States and Cuba. At the forefront was Oswald's involvement as the self-styled "secretary" of the New Orleans chapter of the "Fair Play For Cuba Committee." Intriguingly, in reality, this chapter was a solitary entity, with Oswald standing as its sole member, shedding light on his reluctance to unveil any details about fellow members. 
     
    These two long suppressed radio programs serve as a captivating window into the thoughts that occupied the mind of President Kennedy's possible assassin during the months leading up to that ominous November day in Dallas. Oswald's articulate commentary on the intricate web of political dynamics adds a layer of complexity to the narrative surrounding the events of 1963. As history unfolded, these recordings became poignant important artifacts, offering a rare glimpse into the enigmatic figure who would forever be linked to one of the most consequential moments in American history.

Pressured to prove his usefulness, Verloc becomes entangled in a reckless plot that spirals far beyond his control.
    
    As the scheme unfolds, the consequences ripple through the lives closest to him—especially his wife, Winnie, whose quiet loyalty is tested in ways she never imagined. What begins as political intrigue quickly becomes a devastating story of betrayal, manipulation, and the human cost of extremism.
