Описание: As empire looked on, the leading candidate was jailed, a rising star was assassinated, and a fascist ascended - in the violent, post-truth hysteria of Brazil's dirtiest election year in modern history. A few months later the newly inaugurated President and his Minister of Justice would walk into the headquarters of the CIA in Langley, Virginia. With twenty one diverse contributors, Year of Lead gives unique firsthand insight into the realities of this enormous country, and how foreign designs on its wealth have again altered the course of its history. A resource on Brazil's crisis, and how it got there. "Understanding the tactics of lawfare, the misuse of corruption as a tool to elevate far-right politics and the ways in which the extremes of Brazil's situation reflect and parallel our global predicament is essential." -Michael Brooks "We cannot stay silent as social progress and the rights of millions of citizens in Brazil are threatened. We need to ensure the truth is known. This book is timely, necessary, and will infuriate apologists for what is being done to Latin America." -Richard Burgon, UK Member of Parliament Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
Set in 1960s Auckland, amid the growing conflict in Vietnam. Monica Cook, a young exotic dancer, is hired along with her juvenile friend Diane Preston to entertain a group of visiting American and Vietnamese VIPs. Tragically, events get out of hand; when Monica witnesses the rape and murder of her friend, she narrowly escapes the same fate by hurling herself through a second-story window. The last thing the US wanted was some scandal that could jeopardise sensitive negotiations with New Zealand's entry into the Vietnam War. Therefore, the matter was put into the hands of The Eighth Floor (a covert cell within the CIA) to find and eliminate the girl.
Looking like she had just stepped out of a Renaissance masterpiece, Christopher Hunt, a twenty-year-old art student, was love-struck from the first moment he laid eyes on the beautiful life drawing model Monica Cook. However, he soon discovered that this angelic 19-year-old girl is caught up in a dark world of child abuse, prostitution, and murder. When Christopher learns a sinister assassin is hunting her, his carefree life is turned upside down, and he is propelled on a rollercoaster ride that will see him fighting for their very survival. The Eighth Floor is loosely based on actual events, and although it is set in New Zealand, the story it tells might well have arisen in any country. Drawn from the author's firsthand knowledge, It is a page-turning romantic thriller that reads like an action movie.
