Sinopse

An explosive Cold War thriller, a deadly arms race that threatens to tip the world into conflict.  South Africa, Zimbabwe, China and Britain.  In the shadow of the Cold War, a deadly secret connects three continents, and time is running out.  When a mild-mannered scientist accidentally uncovers a web of international espionage during a routine visit to Beijing, he's thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. His only ally? A magnetic anti-apartheid activist who may have secrets of her own.  As they race to expose the truth, a veteran South African intelligence operative moves through the streets of newly-independent Zimbabwe, his mission intertwined with the machinations of a mysterious Chinese power player from Mao's inner circle. Meanwhile, a sinister collaboration between apartheid forces and rogue British intelligence agents works in the shadows to keep their nuclear conspiracy buried, at any cost.  From the neon lit backstreets of Beijing to the wild, untamed lowveld where Zimbabwe meets South Africa, this explosive thriller weaves together Cold War tensions, political intrigue, and the threat of nuclear devastation. As these disparate threads converge, our unlikely heroes find themselves at the centre of a plot that could reshape the balance of power in the Southern Hemisphere, if they can survive long enough to expose it.

    It's called the change of life but this is ridiculous . . . 
     
     
     
    Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 
     
     
     
    He sent her away. Now she's returned to the scene of the crime. 
     
     
     
    The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low. Sam just wants to lick her wounds, not rekindle an old flame who is still too hot to handle. 
     
     
     
    Witches and shifters and secrets, oh my! 
     
     
     
    When Sam looks out the window late one night and sees people dancing naked and huge felines cavorting on the beach, she realizes she's not the only one with something to hide. But can this ragtag band of aging supernaturals keep her safe? Or will her vengeful ex destroy what's left of Sam's life?

    KELLAN OAKES is a private investigator just trying to make it through each day, working enough cases to keep his agency afloat. It pays the bills, barely, but beats having a real job. 
    KELLAN OAKES is a man who has spent time in two different worlds, and knows just enough about both to be helpful, or dangerous, depending on which side he’s on. 
    KELLAN OAKES is the son of Foltchain of the Oak, an immortal druid priestess revered throughout the mystical realm known as the Deep Woods. 
    And Foltchain of the Oak is missing. 
    The timing is bad, as his college buddy Juvie has just arrived in town to ensure Kellan enjoys a long-overdue vacation, while Phoebe, a hamadryad and childhood friend who now works as the receptionist for Kellan Oakes Investigations, needs help that only Foltchain can provide.  
    As the three of them work together to locate Kellan’s mother, they must also unravel the true nature of the Deep Woods’ new affliction and its connection to Foltchain’s absence.  
    The fates of at least two worlds, and countless lives, hang in the balance …

    “There is no basement. 
     That’s what they told her. 
    Ira Sen’s life had always moved in familiar rhythms. As a voice artist, she spent her days bringing stories to life—stories that crept under the skin, that lingered in the dark long after they ended. 
    But one morning, something changed. 
    Her apartment number was gone. 
    At first, it seemed like a mistake. A missing digit on a hallway directory. Easy to fix. Easy to ignore. 
    But then her neighbor didn’t recognize her. 
    James passed her on the stairs like she wasn’t there. No nod. No smile. Not even a flicker of recognition. 
    And that’s when the unease began. 
    Because it wasn’t just the directory. 
    It was everything. 
    Records started disappearing. 
     Voices changed. 
     Connections… vanished. 
    And at night—when the world fell silent— 
    She heard it. 
    A whisper. 
    Soft. Persistent. 
    Calling her name… 
    From beneath the floor.”**
