    Discovered after more than 40 years, a vintage action-adventure novel set on Domino Island – a Caribbean paradise toppling under murder, corruption and organised crime… 
‘Like a dream come true – an undiscovered Desmond Bagley novel … and it’s a great one!’ LEE CHILD 
Bill Kemp, an ex-serviceman working in London as an insurance investigator, is sent to the Caribbean to verify a life insurance claim that will make property magnate David Salton’s young widow a very rich lady. 
As Kemp begins to discover that Salton’s political ambitions had made him a lot of enemies, and that his friends are reluctant to reveal themselves, local tensions around the forthcoming elections spill over into protest and violence on the streets – and murder. 
Is this all a deliberate smokescreen for an altogether more ambitious plot? And who is the enemy in their midst? As events begin to spiral out of Kemp’s control, even his army training seems feeble in the face of such a determined foe. 
Discovered after more than forty years, Domino Island is a vintage tour de force by one of the world’s most successful thriller writers. 
The suspenseful narrative of Domino Island by Desmond Bagley, a master of thrillers, is a testament to his unparalleled storytelling. The military undertones and the war-like situation on the island make this fiction novel one of the best in its genre. 
For fans of Eric Ambler (The Schirmer Inheritance), Dick Francis (In the Frame), Michael Connelly (The Proving Ground), Elly Griffiths (The Locked Room), and Robert Harris (Act of Oblivion).

    Chief Inspector Strock gets the tough cases. When a volcano suddenly appears to threaten mountain towns of North Carolina amid the non-volcanic Blue Ridge Mountains, Strock is posted to determine the danger. When an automobile race in Wisconsin is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of a vehicle traveling at multiples of the top speed of the entrants, Strock is consulted. When an odd-shaped boat is sighted moving at impossible speeds off the New England coast, Stock and his boss begin to wonder if the incidents are related. And when Strock gets a hand-lettered note warning him to abandon his investigation, on pain of death, he is intrigued rather than deterred.Set in a period when gasoline engines were in their infancy and automobiles were rare, and when even Chief Inspectors had to engage a carriage and horses to move about, the appearance of a vehicle that can move at astounding speeds on land, on water - and as later revealed, underwater and through the air - marks a technological advance far beyond the reach of nations. It is technology invented by and for the sole benefit of a man who styles himself (with some justification) "The Master of the World." This book is a sequel to an earlier Verne novel, "Robur the Conqueror", but enough detail is given to fully appreciate this story without having first read the other. (Summary by Mark)

A witness to a murder has gone missing. Duncan Crane vanished without a trace. He left his bank account, his credit cards, and his phone behind. But there's no body, no blood, and no signs of a break-in or struggle. His disappearance could be foul play.

After some cajoling, ADA Logan Winters convinces Detective Liv DeMarco to join him on a stakeout. He believes the witness is hiding out at a motel a few hours away. But it's out of their jurisdiction, and without a positive ID, the locals aren't willing to help. To put one killer away, Liv and Logan have to find Crane alive, but they aren't the only ones determined to locate the eyewitness…

    Making new friends in the traveler’s paradise of Antigua happens quickly, but how well can you know people you’ve just met? When one of Kira McKnight’s new expat friends ends up in a coma, after drinking a cocktail meant for Kira, she realizes she is in danger and needs to be very careful who she trusts. Was she just being paranoid, or was there a darker reason she’d been accepted for the language program and sent that plane ticket? 
It gradually dawns on her that her new expat friends, her anonymous benefactor, and the author of a warning note might have something in common. They might have discovered the real reason she was there, and might have been doing their best to make sure Kira didn’t get out of Antigua alive.
