Book Description

Inspired by gang wars in Quebec Canada in the late 1990s, Messenger of Death takes the reader into the frightening and fascinating world of bikers’ turf wars. The streets of a peaceful city turn into scenes of Hollywood-style assassinations, explosions, and motorcades to killed gangsters’ funerals. The drama unfolding in the novel conveys the tragedy of love and death of those who live in the underworld, as well as innocent people, who happen to cross their way. Messenger of Death presents a gruesome commentary on the state of North American modern society where hard drugs became a lucrative market.

Book Description

Spring 1937. While German Chancellor Adolf Hitler ceaselessly talks of peace, his actions seem deliberately calculated to make the Western allies lose patience. The schizophrenic geopolitical atmosphere even can be felt as far away as Fulworth, England, the home of the retired Sherlock Holmes, where the Steiners, a German migrant couple, have recently found a refuge and have assumed care of the detective's household after the passing of Mrs Hudson. Spying and detective work are far from the thoughts of beekeeping enthusiast Holmes, but the suicide of his protégé - a local youth whose natural talent the detective developed and encouraged for ten years - is a heavy blow. The death without apparent motive has now pulled Holmes back into the world, which has changed dramatically. Steam power has given way to electricity, carriages have been replaced by automobiles, and the skies are dotted with giant airships. The only thing that has remained constant is evil, in the shape of an enemy with whom Holmes first tangled more than forty years ago…

Either way, their sanity will be challenged. It is a world of fair but harsh justice. Of retribution and redemption. And mystery. Why was Mara chosen to be the Messenger's apprentice? What has she done to deserve this terrible fate? She won't find out until three of the wicked receive justice. And when she does, she will be shattered.
