The Elephant’s Sapphire - Sjt Riley - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It’s late Autumn, 1950. Robert Lynnford, star crime-reporter for The London Herald, is alerted to the theft of an extremely valuable exhibit from the Queen’s Fine Art Museum in London - the Elephant’s Sapphire, a much-coveted historic heirloom from Nepal which has been held by the museum since the 1880s. A desperate curator asks Lynnford to recover the jewel before knowledge of its loss becomes public and the international reputation of the museum is damaged. A constitutional crisis in Nepal and the Prime Minister’s imminent visit to London for urgent talks with the British government add a diplomatic imperative to Lynnford’s task. Murder, double-dealing, and betrayal in London’s Docklands and world of fine art surround the sapphire’s disappearance from the museum, and Lynnford needs all the help he can muster to track it down. When rival gangs lock onto the hunt, the search becomes a deadly race that will lead him around Britain and across the Channel, with only his reporter’s instincts to protect him. And his friends! THE ELEPHANT’S SAPPHIRE is a stand-alone story within a detective mystery series based on the investigations of Robert Lynnford. Ideal for fans of the more retro-detective crime, this story will take you back to the past where a mystery was solved with the mind instead of technology.

The Al-Eden Emergency - S.p. Moss - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

13-year-old Billy is on a school trip, visiting the British Museum, when he slips back in time and joins his grandad for a good old-fashioned dose of derring-do and dastardly deeds. The Al-Eden Emergency features classic aircraft and cars from the mid-20th century as well as some jolly good chaps and a couple of thoroughly bad eggs.It’s 1966 and Billy’s RAF officer Grandpop is something hush-hush in the Ministry of Defence. All eyes are on the port of Al-Eden, a hothouse of rebel activity. As soon as Billy lands on its barren rocks, he’s thrust into a storm of intrigue. He discovers: a secret terrorist organisation led by the enigmatic “Scorpion”, Al-’Aqrab, a stolen astrolabe linked to a mysterious prophecy, an aircraft carrier sailing on shark-infested waters and a good friend who’s being held against his will – or is he? Meanwhile, an old enemy is closing in. Can Billy crack the puzzle before his cover is blown? The Al-Eden Emergency is the cracking third instalment in S.P. Moss’s series of retro-style adventures. “Al-Eden” is a fictitious place, but is inspired by Aden, where the author lived as a small child in the 1960s. Fans of the previous books, as well as any 10 - 13 year old who enjoys breathtaking adventure, will be thrilled by this tremendous tale!
