Requirements: ePUB Reader, AZW Reader; 1.7 MB
Overview: Born and educated in the UK, Jean Harrod was employed as a British diplomat for many years, working in Embassies and High Commissions in Australia, Brussels, the Caribbean, China, East Berlin, Indonesia, Mauritius, and Switzerland. She has travelled extensively around the world and writes about all the countries she had lived in, or visited.
Her novels feature diplomat Jess Turner and Australian DI Tom Sangster, although each novel is set in a different country, with a different plot. All can be read as stand-alones.
Set in Australia, Deadly Diplomacy is her debut diplomatic crime novel, and the first of a trilogy. The second novel, Deadly Deceit, is set in the Caribbean; and the third , still to be published, is set in London.
Jean now lives in North Yorkshire. An active contributor to regional theatre, she has written and staged several plays.
Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Deadly Diplomacy (#1): Diplomat Jess Turner is the British Consul in Canberra. When a British businesswoman is brutally murdered in a Queensland resort, Jess travels to Brisbane to liaise with the police, and help the victim’s next of kin, her journalist sister, Susan.
Queensland DI Tom Sangster is assigned the case; but the Federal Government is very interested in it too. The murder victim was negotiating a multi-billion dollar deal to supply LNG to China, and soon rumours of corruption swirl around the intelligence community. Was she taking Chinese bribes?
Jess is taken aback by Susan’s deep suspicion of the police. When Susan snatches her sister’s diary and disappears – and two more high profile murders follow in quick succession – the race is on to find Susan and the diary before the killer does.
Jess and Sangster, each with their own pieces of the puzzle, must work together to solve this case.
Deadly Deceit (#2): Jess Turner, is on temporary assignment in the Governor’s Office of the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) in the Caribbean. The coral sands and turquoise seas are stunning, but things are not what they seem. The locals are upset about boatloads of illegal migrants arriving from nearby Haiti on their shores, and fearful of the voodoo they bring. Tensions are running high.
When the Governor is critically injured in a car crash, and a brutal murder occurs, Jess is left reeling. What she starts to uncover sends shockwaves through the corridors of power back in London.
Detective Inspector Tom Sangster is investigating criminal gangs smuggling migrants to Australia. While in Miami for talks for US officials on this global problem, he sees Jess passing through the airport. He visits her in the TCI to find out how the British Government deals with the migrant problem in their Overseas Territory. Soon, they are working together to uncover the TCI’s darks and disturbing secrets.
But a hurricane is approaching and, as with each revelation they get closer to the truth, they end up fighting for their own lives.
