President and Power in Nigeria

President and Power in Nigeria

David Williams

Routledge
2016
nidottu
First published in 1982. This is the biography of Alhaji Shehu Shagari of Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and the world's third biggest democracy. He was elected in 1979, against four opponents, in the election which signified the peaceful end of thirteen and a half years of military rule. Alhaji Shehu was the first boy from Shagari, founded in what is now Sokoto State by his ancestors 170 years ago, to go to secondary school. Education has remained one of his main interests throughout a political career which included many ministerial posts. Thoughtful, scholarly and conciliatory he is now a world figure. The book presents the man and his policies against the lively political, social and economic background of a country of eighty million people, which is among the world's six most important oil exporters.

Glory Days: Swan Hunter

Glory Days: Swan Hunter

David Williams

Amberley Publishing
2021
nidottu
Swan Hunter - a legendary name in British shipbuilding - conjures up images of some of the greatest ships ever built, among them RMS Mauretania, which held the Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic, RMS Carpathia, which rescued survivors of the Titanic, and HMS Ark Royal, the last Royal Navy aircraft carrier to be built in the twentieth century.From its origins in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Swan Hunter had an illustrious but turbulent history, and it was with great sadness that in 1994 the Royal Navy frigate HMS Richmond became the last ship to be delivered from the Wallsend yard, bringing to a close a long tradition of shipbuilding on the Tyne.

Prescription for Murder

Prescription for Murder

The Closter Drug company is going to double in value as soon as it perfects its cure for migraine: most of the directors are set to make sizeable fortunes as they float the company on the Stock Exchange. When a group pledged to stopping experiments on animals demonstrates at a Closter news conference, the action is seen as no more than embarrassing. But the kidnap of one of the Closter directors that follows cannot be so easily ignored, especially when, instead of a ransom, the kidnappers demand that the other directors sell their company shares at a crippling loss. No one understands what the kidnappers themselves are gaining by this, until banker Mark Treasure – the non-executive Chairman of Closter Drug – returns from an American trip and works out what’s really happening. Even so he is too late to prevent two murders and the stock market skulduggery that decimates Closter management and threatens to wipe out the company. ‘An ingenious puzzle.’ Mail on Sunday ‘David Williams consistently offers well-crafted English mystery novels, polite, amusing and socially observant.’ The Tablet

Marton Manor, in rural Herefordshire, makes a romantic setting even for a hastily organised wedding. And it is a quickly-arranged ceremony indeed that Fleur Jarvas is demanding — even though marrying before her twenty-first birthday means forfeiting a large inheritance. Naturally all the guests, including Mark Treasure and his wife Molly, are dying to know why . . . But that is only the first mystery of a sinister country weekend. The real question is why the long-straying father of the bride shows up uninvited . . . As the wedding-eve rituals gather pace, so does the tension. And when the next day dawns, it is not to bells and confetti but to two unexplained deaths, a pointed disappearance — and a testing case for Treasure. ‘Clues and red herrings jostle agreeably; Mark Treasure sorts ’em out, bankable as ever’ Sunday Times ‘A tale well told. The ebullient Mr Williams in top form’ Financial Times ‘An intriguing financial mystery . . . the murder is wonderfully, whimsically complicated, and the plot, ably worked out, is played for laughs’ Chicago Sun-Times

Llanegwen – on the coast of North Wales – used to be an attractive, healthy place for respectable people. But now it’s a mixed bag of allsorts — there’s a masked rapist stalking the streets, a petty thief with an eye to the main chance and anonymous businessmen who take over the local sweet factory after a highly convenient death. And when there is a polite and discreet demonstration by the workers outside his home, Mark Treasure is drawn into a fight to save their pension fund and even their jobs. Treasure needs all his skills as a banker to uncover the layers of greed and deceit at the factory. But he must turn sleuth again when a saucy scamper around the shop-floor ends in a bizarre double murder. Can he get to the heart of the mystery before everything goes sour and another life is lost . . . ? ‘His sense of character is as keen as his sense of place, and the plot, while as thick as the sugar syrup it involves, is also completely convincing. Tasty fare.’ Financial Times ‘Treasure is a likable suave hero’ Booklist ‘An efficient, deft thriller.’ Publishers Weekly

It’s high summer in Oxford. The university vacation has just begun. The eight governors of the Moneybuckle Endowment (an architectural library) are assembling at All Saints College for the annual dinner before their meeting under chairman Mark Treasure, merchant banker. The talk at the table is of some pricey sketches said to be by Constable, and an offer from a dealer in the town. But the talk turns to shock when murder’s done in Walton Street with the sketches as the obvious motive. The police are quick to make an arrest, but Treasure is sure they’ve got the wrong suspect—even though all other likely culprits are Moneybuckle governors, or Moneybuckle’s custodian himself. ‘As nifty a puzzle as clever Williams has yet devised, redolent with the reddest of herrings.’ Sunday Times ‘Elegant, literate, ingenious and a joy to read.’ Birmingham Post

Hardly anyone attends St Martin’s Church, Kengrave Square, in West London, and it’s very nearly falling down. But when news gets out that it’s to be closed, and possibly sold, there’s a significant flurry of interest. The site is worth millions. Aziz Developments are after it, and so is the Community of Investors for Jesus – a curious American group of tele-evangelists. Enter the Honourable Mrs Monica Lodey, Kengrave Square resident, whose grandfather built the church. The venerable Mrs Lodey is determined to save St Martin’s. She’s not only rich but she can also exert huge influence: her brother is Chairman of Grenwood, Phipps, the merchant bankers, where Mark Treasure is Chief Executive. When the vicar’s wife launches a fund to repair St Martin’s, there’s a rowdy parish meeting where Treasure’s actress wife Molly is the first to promise money. Treasure hopes that can be the extent of his involvement. But when a sudden death follows, spawning more dramatic events, both he and Molly find themselves gradually drawn into yet another investigation, and this time very close to home ground. ‘As nifty a puzzle as clever Williams has yet devised, redolent with the reddest of herrings.’ Sunday Times ‘As usual, the writer salts his tale with humour: but, also as usual, you leave the book with the sensation of having read more than just another thriller.’ Financial Times ‘Anyone who regrets the passing of the old-fashioned detective story could do much worse than turn to Mr Williams, with his astute but wry characterisation of English social life and his adept plotting.’ Sunday Telegraph

Litchester Cathedral, usually an oasis of cloistered calm, suddenly finds itself at the centre of an acrimonious dispute over the proposed sale of its 1225 copy of the Magna Carta. Merchant banker Mark Treasure is invited down to sort out the squabbling cathedral chapter. But even as he journeys down to Litchester a fire destroys the ecclesiastical library – Magna Carta and all – and a body is discovered in the debris. But it wasn’t fire that killed the Dean’s verger. And as Treasure’s murder investigation unravels evidence of some most unholy mayhem and dark skulduggery, he realises that Litchester is a place where sins and secrets abound . . . ‘Mr Williams in knowledgeable and delectable top form’ Sunday Times ‘An engrossing tale . . . all the elements of a classic mystery.’ Library Journal

Sir Ray Bims is about to be charged as the principal in a Caribbean bank that’s laundering international drug money. Lord Grenwood, octogenarian chairman of Grenwood, Phipps, the London merchant bankers, is appalled. Three years ago he sold the Eel Bridge Rovers Football Club – known as the Eels – to Bims. The club was founded by Grenwood’s grandfather and is still associated with the Grenwoods in the public’s mind. Now his lordship wants to buy it back to avoid the suggestion of family involvement in Bims’s disgrace. Only hours after refusing Grenwood’s offer for the Eels, Bims commits suicide – except that Detective-Inspector Jeckels of the Fulham CID concludes gradually that it was murder. And he discovers a string of people with motive and opportunity to dispose of Bims – among them the husband of Bims’s mistress; the Eels’ manager whom Bims had been about to fire; a well-known concert pianist; a curiously religious pest controller; not to mention several Eels players, and Bims’s wife and ex-wife. ‘Williams continues to astonish with his command of subtlety and assured comic invention’ Daily Telegraph ‘A nicely wily Williams whodunit’ Sunday Times
