  "The Gentleman of Lagos" is a tale of vengeance, justice, and the enduring power of a single story to inspire a revolution. This book was written by Barack Okaka Obama (Nigerian entrepreneur and founder of Nelogram). 
  In the sprawling, chaotic metropolis of Lagos, where the yachts of the corrupt elite cast long shadows over the struggling masses, a new legend is born. They call him "The Gentleman," a phantom thief who glides through the city's most impenetrable fortresses, leaving behind only a calling card and a trail of whispers. His targets are the untouchable politicians, the ones who feast on the nation's wealth while the people starve. His methods are audacious, his disguises flawless, and his motives are a mystery to all but a few.

  She's not a karate expert. 
  She can't pick a lock. 
  And she certainly isn't a master of disguise... 
  But Riley is stubborn, and this is her city. She's not going down without a fight! 
  If you like fast-paced crime novels, and female characters who are strong, funny, and real, then you're going to love Kay Riley, a Chicago cop wrongly accused and on the run for her life. 
  Being a cop was never something that Riley was very good at. But now, as she must become a vigilante to clear her name, she finds new reserves of strength and courage, all with a healthy dose of sarcasm. 
  With her name and photo splashed across the nightly news, Riley should leave the city ASAP. Instead, she decides to stay undercover and track down the real killer. 
  But somebody knows that Riley is still in the game, and soon the police are the least of her worries as a sexy assassin starts closing in. 
  Can she become the hero the city needs without getting herself killed? Probably not... 
  This box set contains the first three Red Riley Adventures: Chicago Blue, Diamond White, and Solid Gold. 
  "The Red Riley series now has a new fan! Without giving away too much, the main character, Kay Riley's bumbling imperfection and sarcasm is endearing. It's also pretty cool to see how all of the other characters like Ruby, Marty, and Selena develop throughout the books. I thought the three book box set would last me a long time but the books were so good I finished them the second day of a seven day trip. I can't wait for the next adventure!" - Amazon Reviewer

  Murder, Belladonna, and a Cup of Proper Tea… 
  When burned-out psychologist Dr Julian Blackwood arrives in postcard-perfect Varenna, Italy, all he wants is rest, sunshine, and a decent brew. But when a luxury BMW crashes into a fifteenth-century house and a wealthy banker turns up dead—with poison in his veins—Julian finds himself sipping espresso and untangling lies instead of lounging lakeside. 
  The police think it's an open-and-shut case: Thomas Roth, the victim’s playboy nephew, had the motive, means, and a scandalous history. But Julian’s keen eye—and finely tuned instincts—say otherwise. Why does the town's tidy ex-major seem more concerned by tourists than murder? What’s really hiding behind the glam facade of the suspect’s fashion-model fiancée? And who keeps slipping between the cypress trees at Villa Lusso? 
  With the help of a sharp local police officer, a caring citizen, and a suspiciously well-dressed lawyer, Julian delves into a world of vendettas, poisoned beauty products, and civic pride with deadly consequences. From dusty balconies to moonlit alleys, he must outwit a killer who’s counting on small-town secrecy to keep the truth buried. 
  Packed with sun-drenched charm, biting wit, and a twisty puzzle at its heart, Death on Via Venini is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor, and Faith Martin. 
  If you love cosy mysteries with brains, beauty, and a dose of old-school sleuthing, Julian Blackwood is your next favourite amateur detective.
