A “fast-paced, sexy and blood-spattered” political thriller set in Africa from the award-winning author of Cry of the Justice Bird (Robert Guest, international bestselling author of The Shackled Continent). USuzwe is an African country rotten with corruption. Its rulers systematically pillage the economy, rob the charities and drain the aid budgets of gullible Western countries. However, a group of citizens rebel against the poverty, food shortages, bankrupt social services, disease and early deaths and plan to topple the regime within a week—and their unsuspecting instrument is ex-Royal Marine Commando Johnny Strowger. Johnny arrives in the Kingdom of USuzwe like any other tourist, intent on enjoying its palm-fringed beaches, game parks and beautiful girls. But when his brother mysteriously disappears, he finds himself the object of a huge police manhunt. Guided by Ephraim and the beautiful Lindiwe Dhlimani, Johnny begins to destroy the political snakes of Kisingo’s regime, but at a terrible price. “Black Mongoose is a terrific novel . . . Jon Haylett writes hard-boiled fiction with tremendous energy and an eye for unsettling truths.”—Robert Guest, former Africa editor of The Economist and international bestselling author

Argyll Street: One Man's Journey from the Pit to the Front Line

By: Jon Moorthorpe

ARGYLL STREET is a historical novel based on the life of William Gregory who was born in Aspull, Lancashire, in 1879. He followed his Father and Brother to work in the coal mine at the age of ten.

Cry of the Justice Bird

By: Jon Haylett

Armstrong McKay is an ordinary Essex school teacher whose life would have remained contentedly mundane had he not fallen for Rebecca, a lovely, moral girl determined to make her contribution by taking a teaching contract in a small, central African country. Armstrong's life spirals out of control when she is killed in a road accident and, flying out to bring her body home, he discovers that Rebecca was butchered by a renegade gang rampaging across a countryside mangled by two civil wars. With the rule of law hardly extending beyond the main cities, Armstrong is faced with a stark choice: run home with his tail tucked between his legs, or mete out justice himself. Guided by Temba Mbanga, whose wife died with Rebecca, and goaded by the cry of Kisasi the Justice Bird, he sets about hunting the killers across a land slithering uncontrollably into the anarchy of yet another civil war. Armstrong's resilience, his humour, and his eye for a pretty girl carry him through as the two men wade deeper and deeper into a dark chaos of horror and destruction.
