Sinopse

When a seemingly innocent food blogger is murdered in the quiet Mexican beach town of Zihuatanejo, John Standard's girlfriend asks him to find out what happened.
 
Standard, wanting only to be left alone to enjoy the sun, food, and tequila of his new home, reluctantly agrees. His search leads him to the beautiful and dangerous daughter of a notorious drug lord, and an unlikely alliance with a Shakespeare-quoting DEA agent.
 
After a high-powered encounter with the cartel killers, Standard's search for the truth leaves a trail of dead bodies in its wake. Does he still have what it takes to get the job done?

    Dawn creeps over the horizon, illuminating the body lying on the marshy ground. He looks peaceful, young, healthy. But there is no bloom of life in his cheeks, his eyes are cold and dead…
    
     
    When Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime Unit, Dr Harrison Lane, is called to desolate Wicken Fen to assist with a murder investigation, he can’t believe what he sees. Curved iron horseshoes hold down the body of a young, athletic man, and birch leaves rest delicately upon his torso, but it’s what lies above the leaves that interests Harrison…
    
     
    A small bone hangs around the young man’s neck and Harrison immediately recognises it as a magical talisman, said to bring the wearer great powers. But it’s from an ancient sect which some believe has links to the devil.
    
     
    The victim is soon identified as local jockey Paul Lester. Searching his home, Harrison discovers a thick white envelope containing horsehair and cryptic directions to a meeting place. With a sickening feeling, he suddenly understands why Paul was targeted; he was a member of another secret society: The Horsemen. Could that mean that other members are in danger?
    
     
    But Harrison can’t get the detective in charge of the case to take his worries seriously. Then another victim is found dead, pinned down by horseshoes, and his worst fears are confirmed. Harrison knows the fastest way to stop this killer is to infiltrate the society, but can he discover their secrets and work out how the killer is tracking them before it’s too late?

    The book How Authoritarian King Seized America: Judgment Day Is Coming by Michael J. Henderson is a historical fiction novel that envisions a dystopian future where America has fallen under the rule of an authoritarian leader, Don Orangeman. The novel explores themes of racial oppression, economic devastation, and political corruption as the country is transformed into the "Ivory Empire." 
    The narrative follows diverse characters—including Black, Latino, Asian, and white Americans—who struggle under a regime that favors the wealthy elite while oppressing marginalized communities. The story highlights the systematic dismantling of democracy, the rise of an economic oligarchy, and the growing resistance movement fighting to reclaim justice and freedom. 
    A key antagonist is Elon Mzungu, a shadowy billionaire who manipulates the government from behind the scenes, controlling economic and technological infrastructure to expand his influence worldwide. As the Ivory Empire crumbles under its own corruption, the revolution gains momentum, leading to a climactic battle for the nation's future. 
    The book serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, emphasizing the consequences of unchecked power and the resilience of those who resist oppression. It blends political commentary, historical parallels, and speculative fiction to create a gripping narrative about the fight for democracy and justice in a world on the brink of collapse.
