The Politics of Murder

The Politics of Murder

UK   USA   CDN   AU

This is a fast paced, action thriller sure to please readers of the genre. Written in Reece Pocock's taut style, the characters are compelling and the plot is blockbuster sized but, in this day and age, worringly plausible. It's good to see Australia as a setting for much of the story. A great read. ~ Review by James Nolan

Book description:

A sanctioned murder and all hell breaks loose!

The Politics of Murder is a story of the greed inherent in man and his disregard for the consequences. While scientists developed the nuclear fuel, they failed to produce a safe waste storage system.

When a clandestine facility is built in Western Australia, an equally secret mercenary force is set up without the knowledge of the Government.

Dan Brennan and Mac McLean are back again in this exciting yet challenging thriller of thrillers. Instead of a simple case of murder, the two detectives find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy that extends up the line of command to the very top. When an assassination team is sent to execute them, it can only mean one thing… the Prime Minister himself has betrayed them.

In the Author’s words:

Dan Brennan and Mac McLean the detectives from my previous novel Murder on Display are back, but this time they are seconded to the Federal Police.

I had the idea for this book for many years and attempted to write the story but the plot would not come together. Finally, I worked out the relationship between the characters and I understood how the story should go.

The international community thumbed their noses at Australia and installed a nuclear dump to take their waste without the knowledge of the Parliament. The United States and Australia were aligned on many policies, and the President and the Prime Minister became friends.

Authors use, the what if factor, when deciding how to present their stories, and I was no different. I played up the betrayal to justify the later punishment Australia extracts from the criminals involved.

To support the nuclear dump, I have used a militia group to protect the clandestine operation including murder.

Another important facet of this story is how will the Australian people react to a Government that allowed an illegal facility to be installed on Australian territory?

This book trailer gave me Goosebumps. This is always the way the Divine communicates with me when something is very special and worth knowing about. ~ Seann Vinyasa-Billson

Blurb:

BECKY JENSEN'S FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATE: This past year, against all the ups and downs imaginable, I received the greatest gift of all — the gift of unconditional love. And with love came the gift of forgiveness. Somewhere around the 1700s, a fellow called Alexander Pope wrote, 'to err is human; to forgive, divine'. It is my humble opinion, however, that my mum wrote it best in a letter she wrote to me before she died.

When Becky Jensen's mother died on Christmas Eve a year ago, Becky stopped believing in Christmas.

When Becky’s father remarried four weeks ago, Becky stopped believing in family. An hour ago, when Becky caught her boyfriend kissing her best friend, Becky stopped believing in love.

Broken hearted, Becky makes a wish that changes her life forever…

The very next day, she is boarding a plane at Heathrow airport and flying halfway across the world to interview three authors.

The Authors, all friends since their twenties, are now in their fifties. Not only does Becky learn about the lives of these three incredible women, she also learns a lot about herself.

Becky also discovers that all families have their secrets, and hers is no exception.

The App

The App
  The App is an adult thriller for a mature audience.
This is an awesome book, much different from other books that only focus on murder, romance, sex, or politics. This book has a great combination of all the above.
~ Excerpt of a review by S. Vaughn~ Great book, very different from the rest!  

Take a look at the book description:

How much can a woman ever really know her husband?

A Naive Heart

I shall not tell you anything about Sarah Becks because this book is based on a true story. I shall warn you about one thing though. You will be sucked in when you read the prologue. 

Review by R. Brown - What a Read! 
This was a moving story, which surprised me, shocked me and then warmed me. Despite being based on a true story, it was a novel that fully absorbed my curiosity, I had to read more. It did not disappoint. I wanted it to continue.
***** 

Sexy excerpt from Chapter One -  (Kindle Locations 215-225)

Real life, I had unfortunately discovered, was not like the movies. There had been no gorgeous hunk to fall in love with at first sight, nor had there been any heart pounding yearning and no stomach wrenching love sickness. A Brad Pitt hunk had not come knocking on my door and swept me off my feet. I was still waiting for my knight in shining armour and living a happy ever after ending. But in reality I knew he did not exist; he was an effigy that we women had been fooled into believing in and in my experience he was nothing but a myth.

I had recently met someone slightly different; we'd bumped into each other a couple of months ago. We'd talked, danced and even kissed but he was always cool, almost stand-offish. I knew he fancied me; he told me so and it was a mutual thing. So why was he playing hard to get? Maybe it was the divorced with two kids thing with this man? Or was he a stereotypical Mr. Gorgeous and characteristically arrogant? I didn't know and after meeting up on several occasions, I was past caring. I hadn't had sex for over a year and I wanted him. So rather than play games and waste time deciding if he was right or wrong for me, I was just going to have him. A one night stand, its 1993 and nearly everyone I knew had them. Me? Never, but tonight I was going to. Tonight I would settle for just sex.

How much can a woman ever really know her husband? Can a man really hide his true-self from the woman who loves him?

'One woman's story proves that a man can.'

Sarah’s husband John, a seemingly caring, loving and considerate partner, was such a man. Sarah was to discover their relationship was a façade as slowly over the years John began to reveal his true identity. He was a man unable to control his dark secret desires. Desires which he kept hidden so well at first but which ultimately consumed him leading to a marriage rocked by betrayal and deception. But what were the secret desires that drove him to lie and to conceal the real him from Sarah? 

‘Based on a True Story, ' A Naive Heart portrays a love sadly gone wrong and a marriage full of pretense, secrecy and shocking revelations. It will strike a chord with any woman who has wondered if they 'ever truly know their partner.’

Review by Ron - I loved it
I couldn't put this book down! I had to keep reading to discover what would happen next. Shocking and moving, it made me laugh and cry. I loved it. Well worth reading I would recommend it to all women.
 A Naive Heart is available on Amazon!
