The Blurb
Sacrificial pawns in the game. During the spring and early summer of 2012, against the backdrop of the Diamond Jubilee and the build-up to the Olympics a group of idealist young men are being prepared to form an Islamist terrorist cell in Manchester.
 
Their mentor; a firebrand immigrant cleric from Baghdad is protected by Hussein, a ferociously hard man from a small village in Afghanistan. Both have reasons to hate but are they the same?
 
On a short break to the British Museum London, a plea for help from a young woman, embroils the Gent in a terrorist plot, what or who is the target? 
 
Complexities abound, and a frantic search in London ensues - to discover the terrorist’s hideout and what the target is - in order to prevent disaster on a massive scale…

The Cultist's Retreat (The Erik Midgard Case Files Volume 4), écrit par kdnorwich1
15 chapitres Terminé
How do you solve a murder when you cannot reveal you are an undercover detective? The development of time travel undermined most traditional religions in the Solar System by proving there is no such thing as fate. But it left a void that had to be filled. Today, many people venerate science and evolution, but some worship time itself. In the rings of Saturn, one of the Solar System's greatest sporting events is approaching, providing the perfect cover for the secretive temporal cults to hold their annual inter-faith retreat. Members from every sect will meet to socialise, discuss their ideas and beliefs, and display their latest inventions, which can manipulate time in ways that should not be possible. Time-travelling police detective Erik Midgard is also attending in disguise, to gather intelligence on the cults for the Chronological Operations Agency. It is a risky and complicated assignment, made harder because the laws of time appear to be suddenly - and inexplicably - changing, which could have dire consequences for Erik himself. The last thing he needs is another murder to solve. Undercover in a small hotel, in a jurisdiction he is not meant to be in, with a killer among the guests who may be the most intelligent and cunning adversary he has ever faced, Erik must solve the case, and the mystery of his own origins, before it is too late. One way or another, Erik's time is almost up. The final volume of the Erik Midgard Case Files.

Baker Street Mystery: Gangster Game

13 chapitres Terminé

In the foggy heart of London, where shadows whisper secrets, detective Sherlock Holmes receives a midnight letter. It hints at a conspiracy that could upend the city. Stolen files implicate powerful figures in politics and crime. A desperate man arrives at Baker Street, bringing chaos and fear. Behind it all is Albert Croft, a ruthless gang leader and dark genius, worthy of Holmes' intellect. This case is a chess game between Holmes' cold analysis and Croft's cunning. Lies and betrayal lurk in the shadows, making the truth elusive. Holmes faces internal conflicts, battling a philosophy that sees good and evil as mere tools of power. Elizabeth Doering, a mysterious woman, enters his life. Is she an ally or foe? Victim or key player? "The Mystery of Baker Street: The Gangster Game" delves into the human psyche, exploring the struggle between reason and emotion, good and evil. It's a thrilling confrontation between Holmes and an opponent who can turn justice on its head. Every page is a new thrill, every chapter keeps you on edge, and every word pulses with mystery and excitement. This isn't just a puzzle; it's a life-or-death game where small mistakes can be fatal, and the enemy may be closer than you think.
