April 2018. Two and a half years have passed since the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Barbados' Prime Minister, Jeffrey Motby. His surprisingly quick and full recovery had enabled him, just eight months later, to lead his Barbados United Party (BUP) to a third successive general election victory. Policies and projects were working. The UK vehicle investment project he had directly masterminded had reduced unemployment to just over eight per cent. England's Test cricket team was set to visit Barbados to play a resurgent West Indies. A royal visit to Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines was scheduled and the Prime Minister's daughter planned to marry shortly. There were no known crises on the horizon.But situations can change quickly. Major, unexpected actions disrupt the best laid plans of the government. A perfect storm? The Organisation comes to town; there is a mid-morning prisoners' escape and the un-explained disappearance of a senior government official. A botched night robbery in a prime tourism nightspot is also witnessed by a top overseas journalist. A response by government is required as other scheduled sporting and entertainment events become part of the mix. Barbados' long-established reputation for stability, hospitality and security is threatened by this convergence of events.The Prime Minister, also the current CARICOM Chairman, demands rapid answers and an early return to normalcy. Events inadvertently connect a senior BIB operative who is hung out to dry. Nothing is what it seems. Can Barbados' robust law enforcement agencies combine to save the country's stellar reputation?Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Hadford HowellPublisher: Austin MacauleyPublished: 07/30/2021ISBN: 9781528993081Pages: 458Weight: 1.40lbsSize: 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.93d
