Sinopsis

The 'Detective Cleek Trilogy' by Thomas W. Hanshew presents a masterful blend of detective fiction infused with psychological depth and character exploration. Set in the backdrop of early 20th-century London, these novels deftly combine intricate plots with meticulous detail, showcasing Hanshew's ability to create atmospheric tension. The trilogy follows the astute private investigator, Detective Cleek, whose keen analytical mind unravels a series of perplexing cases, each revealing the darker shades of human nature. Hanshew's prose encapsulates the zeitgeist of the period, aligning with the burgeoning genre of detective stories that emerged post-Edwardian era, as he skillfully intertwines social commentary with riveting mystery. Thomas W. Hanshew, a playwright and novelist born in 1856, was deeply influenced by the literary movements of his time, particularly the fascination with crime and moral ambiguity. His background in drama is evident in his narrative structure and character development, highlighting the psychological battles faced by both the protagonist and the perpetrators. Hanshew's writing not only reflects the societal issues prevalent during his life but also offers a profound insight into the complexities of justice and morality that resonate today. I wholeheartedly recommend the 'Detective Cleek Trilogy' to readers who appreciate rich storytelling combined with engaging mysteries. Those drawn to character-driven narratives and historical contexts will find Hanshew's work both compelling and thought-provoking. Delve into the world of Detective Cleek, where every clue uncovers more than just a crime; it reveals the very essence of humanity itself.

    Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunctionis a novel that explores the immense challenges facing the next US Administration, both domestically and internationally, while seeking creative solutions and individuals ready to implement them. Beyond political matters, the story delves into personal struggles such as the lingering trauma of losing a spouse, the difficulty of relocating, the mixed feelings about retirement, and the psychological need to stay relevant and connected in one's later years. The narrative aims to provoke thought, but also to entertain, with a tone light enough to evoke a smile or occasional laughter. The book begins on the day of the 2021 presidential inauguration and is told through the perspective of the protagonist, "Salt Pepper," a former US Government employee and Washington law firm associate. It highlights the severe polarization and partisanship dividing both American society and the government, as well as the strained relationships between the US and other nations. Salt, thinking he has retired to his family farm in rural Virginia, is convinced by an old friend-soon to be Secretary of State in a new Administration-to take on a temporary covert diplomatic role. This assignment leads Salt and a capable female colleague on a journey to the White House, London, Berlin, Prague, and sensitive meetings with diplomats, including those from the Middle East. Rooted in history, current affairs, and human nature, the novel sheds light on the inheritance of international instability, domestic political toxicity, and the disruptive forces impacting small towns, rural America, and the manufacturing sector. It also emphasizes the global demand for US leadership and the pressing need for courageous leaders willing to tackle these challenges, no matter the risks or difficulties.

    Paris, 1928: Agatha Christie and fellow writer Dorothy L Sayers board the Orient Express, bound for Constantinople. Christie in particular is looking forward to a break from recent dispiriting events in both her work and private life – the finalisation of her divorce from her philanderous husband Archie, and the miserly reception of her latest book. 
    But before the duo can settle in to enjoy the luxuries of their first-class journey, their journey is derailed when a fellow guest drops dead during the dinner service. And as the last person to speak to the victim, Dorothy finds herself a prime suspect in his murder. 
    As the train hurtles East, Sayers’ resourceful assistant Eliza and her friend Theo must navigate a maze of suspects. But with each passing mile, the stakes rise, and when another body is discovered, their search to find the killer before they reach their destination becomes increasingly complicated. 
    Can Eliza and Theo stay one step ahead, crack the mystery and clear Dorothy’s name? Or will this be one journey too far for the amateur sleuths?
