Book Description
‘OMG!!! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! WHAT HAVE I JUST READ!?!?... Wow!!!… Mind-blowing… Absolutely stunning… Had me hook, line and sinker from the first page... I could not put it down!!!… Truly unputdownable. I started this yesterday afternoon and finished it at approx. 2am, I read it in one sitting… Addictive!’ Bookworm86, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I watch my best friend and the way she lays a hand on my partner’s arm, throwing me a knowing glance. I haven’t seen her for so long. She knows my darkest secret. Is she about to blow up the perfect life I’ve created? My partner José and I have poured everything into opening this rustic farmhouse retreat nestled high in the Spanish mountains. Finally we’re ready to welcome our first guests. But a cold chill comes over me when I recognise Saskia. She’s part of my old life, the one I made sure to leave behind, and that José knows nothing about. Saskia knows everything about me – even the terrible secret I’ve carried for so long. She’s exposed me once before. Is she here to do it again? She swears all she wants is for us to be friends again and she’s being so sweet, helping out whenever she can. Maybe she really is trying to make amends. But when I see that our beautiful water fountain is stained a deep red I’m certain it was her. She’s here for revenge. Then I find the body floating in the pool. My stomach drops as I realise it can’t have been Saskia – because she was with me. I’m in a nightmare. Someone is determined to destroy everything I love. But who are they, and how far are they willing to go? And will I be able to stop them before it’s too late? What readers are saying about The Retreat: ‘Oh my god! I have no words… This book is unbelievable… So many times I thought I had it figured out so the ending came as a huge surprise…The suspense in this book is unreal!... My god it is gripping! Damn this author knows how to write a bestseller and this is sure to be one!... Fantastic!’ Jessica’s Book Biz, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Wow what can I say!

The Gift of the Holy Cross
Author: Lino Leitao
Publisher: Leeds, England : Peepal Tree
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Leitão's novel brings alive the vanished world of colonial Goa, a hybrid creation of Portuguese Catholicism and the Hindu caste system. From its beginnings in village rivalries, fought out by the bulls of neighbouring Cavelossim and Carmona, the sleeping dragon of Goan nationalism awakes. But when the Goan people rise up against their Portuguese masters, their victory is hollow. The fruits of their struggle are plucked by the new commercial elite and their distinctive culture is swamped as Goa is annexed by India. Focusing on the tragic figure of Mario Jaques, a village leader who wants to preserve the best of the old world in the new, but who is isolated by his own confusions and swept away by social forces beyond his control, Leitão writes passionately of a popular movement betrayed. Whilst the old world is marked by feudal oppression and superstitious ignorance, Leitão vividly, and often humorously, recreates the communal exuberance of Goan village life: feiras exploding with firecrackers, the dancing harmonies of the violin bandes, the aromas of roasting gram and sorpatel, the spectacles of the theatre and the processions of the saints. In the new world there is only a ruthless competitiveness in which the worst rise to the top. Lino Leitão was born in Goa, resident in Uganda for some years and now lives in Canada. He is the author of three collections of short stories.

Southern Cross
Author: T. C. Isbell
Publisher: T C Isbell
ISBN: 0984661026
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Surpassing even loyalty to country, the desire for revenge can sear white-hot and be as addictive and as all-consuming as the strongest opiate. German agents Elsa Gable and Chris Schulte grew up together in a Germany ravaged by the Great War. They became inseparable as they matured into more than friends, more than family. They had a bond no one could destroy, at least that’s what Chris believed until the night of December 2, 1938. Not the typical spy murder mystery, Southern Cross is a unique tale of double agents, espionage, revenge, and murder leading investigators from a morgue in Manhattan to the SS Southern Cross, a passenger liner sailing from New York to Cuba. Forced to use limited resources, a doctor from San Francisco and a young Paris police inspector scramble to uncover a vicious murderer before another passenger is killed, and before the ship docks in Havana and five-hundred travelers flood the pier. If you are one of those people who read the last page first, . . . don’t.
