Synopsis

In an embattled world can integrity trump corruption? Hungover and tired after a month doing business in Tirana, and needing to lie low following a threat to his life, Nicholas Wyndham assumes the identity on a placard held up in the arrivals hall at Heathrow. This chance-act, with its ensuing web of deceit, ensnares not only Nicholas, but also Natasha, the young activist who meets him at the airport, and all those around them—with life-changing consequences. Moving across England, Wales, Albania and Denmark, and set against the backdrop of the British General Election of 1997, and the public desire to replace a government beset by allegations of sleaze and incompetence with a fresh and optimistic administration, Deception is a timely exploration of what we mean by power, class, corruption, identity and truth. A compelling story of the potential of the human spirit.

    Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting… 
     
    Chloe Mayfield is rebuilding – her love life, her career, and most importantly, Blue Moon Division, the only branch in the entire Boston Police Department tasked with investigating the paranormal. 
     
    Having brought about an end to the war with the United Fairy Commonwealth, she’s earned herself a bit of breathing room with the upper brass, and she intends to make the most of it. The last thing she wants is a body dropped on her literal doorstep. 
     
    Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with the city’s ghosts, goblins, and vampires, she’s starting to learn you can’t always get what you want. 
     
    The Silk Road stretches from the Boston harbor into the heart of downtown, and as her investigation reveals more bodies, she’s forced to confront the possibility that a vampire might be stalking the streets of Chinatown. A lord of eternal night hailing from the land of the rising sun. 
     
    Of course, everyone knows vampires aren’t real. And even if they were, they certainly wouldn’t know Kung Fu. 
     
    Would they? 
     
    She’d best get ready to find out.

Among those who will be on hand to celebrate the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande is Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States and former commander of the Union armies.Like other residents in the Colorado boomtown this summer of 1880, Inez Stannert regards the news as mixed. With her business partnership in the Silver Queen Saloon shaky and the bonds of family slipping (her husband is still missing and her young son is still back East), Inez doesn't need the lawlessness of Leadville to turn, once again, into murder.But Inez isn't the only one with iron ties to the past. Some folks have wicked memories of the war, others have a stake in the competing railroad lines.

    Major Abel Jones returns in “a rich, lush portrait of a forgotten era . . . Honor’s Kingdom is good history and even better storytelling” (The Denver Post).   In a stunning re-creation of 1860s London and Glasgow that reaches from the worst slums in Europe to the lobbies of Parliament, Owen Parry brings the past to ravishing life. Grotesque murders multiply as Major Abel Jones pursues a monstrous killer who may be a well-connected Confederate agent or a ghost from Jones’s bloody past in India—or both. England’s political leaders—including Benjamin Disraeli—appear to have a great deal to hide. Everyone seems determined to thwart Jones’s search for justice—but are they interested in supporting the Confederacy, or in masking personal scandals? The threat of an ocean-spanning war hangs over each new crime as Jones struggles to find a rumored warship that would serve the Rebels as a wonder-weapon of the age—and stop it from sailing.   From deeds of hellish darkness to acts of transcendent kindness, Honor’s Kingdom speeds irresistibly from the opening sentence to a startling, shockingly logical, and unforgettable conclusion.  “The glee the author takes in the narrative voice of his staunchly Methodist hero is infectious, and he brings the era to vivid life.” —Publishers Weekly  “Perry’s beautifully written narrative encompasses the international scope of the Civil War conflict and never loses sight of the brutality of war and the deceitfulness of politics.” —Booklist
