The Inspector Morose Trilogy

The Inspector Morose Trilogy

Peter K. Tyson

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2013
nidottu
For the first time, the books in the trilogy are now available all together and in print after appearing separately on Kindle (I have made some minor modifications). In The Girl with the Fish Tattoo, Morose is enlisted to help investigate a series of terrorist bombings which have led to anti-Muslim riots and a right-wing nationalist backlash. Everyone assumes a political explanation but Morose is less convinced. And just how does the sexy biker girl with the piranha tattoo fit in? The Girl who Swam with Sharks represents an exotic interlude from the political thriller style of the other two books and is more like a traditional whodunit. Morose travels to Thailand to rescue his older brother Endeavour who has been arrested and accused of helping his young Thai girlfriend murder her rich American husband. Finally, in The Girl who Cried Wolf, Morose is recalled from exile in Iceland to defuse the Croydon Missile Crisis. After refusing to cooperate with rendition and extradition, Uncle Kenny, who is seeking re-election as Prime Minister after four years in office, is threatened with rogue drone missiles by the American Ambassador. What should Kenny do with Julian St. James, the founder of the radical FidelNews.com website, who has leaked top secret US military documents and is accused of raping a student in Sweden? Also, can Morose solve the curious incident of the wolf which did not howl in the night? At least Morose is not alone and is ably assisted by his trusty sergeant, Louise, by the ambiguous founder of Manchester's No. 1 Transsexuals' Detective Agency, Eddie, and by the lovable Icelandic Criminology student, D ra.

A Thousand Places Left Behind

A Thousand Places Left Behind

Peter K. Lutken Jr.

UNIVERSITY PRESS OF MISSISSIPPI
2023
sidottu
Born and raised in Mississippi, Peter K. Lutken, Jr. (1920–2014) joined the army in 1941 and was assigned to the Coast Artillery. Originally sent to India to guard airfields, he was reassigned to the British V Force, then the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services and precursor to the CIA) after he volunteered for reconnaissance missions behind Japanese lines. Skills he had learned as a boy in the backwoods and swamps around the Pearl River stood him in good stead, and by the end of the war, he attained the rank of major, commanding an entire battalion of ethnic Kachins and other local people of northern Burma (now called Myanmar). Lutken's stories carry the reader along as he sails on a troop ship to India, then treks into the mountainous jungles of northern Burma to gather intelligence and engage in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese. In his straightforward way, he describes how he learned the language of the Kachins and much about their customs and legends, and how he fought alongside them for the course of the war. Adventures of rafting uncharted rivers, surprise attacks, sabotage, natural hazards and disease, feasts and ceremonies, the plight of refugees, and tragic events of war are all told from the perspective of a young soldier, who finds himself half a world away from home. Based on hundreds of pages of transcripts from tapes recorded late in his life, A Thousand Places Left Behind recounts the untold story not just of one soldier’s experiences, but of the little-known history of American and British forces in Burma during World War II. Supported by original maps based on Lutken’s personal travels as well as photographs from his scrapbook, the book traces Lutken’s journey overseas, his expeditions into the jungle, and his return to Jackson, Mississippi in 1945. Beyond the war, Lutken’s connection with the Kachins culminated in "Project Old Soldier," a crop exchange program which he and other veterans of OSS Detachment 101 initiated in the 1990s and which lasted until after his death in 2014. The book tells a remarkable story of bravery, friendship, history, and the unbreakable bonds forged in times of war.

Success is not exclusive to those who are born into a business empire. There are more success stories that have humble beginnings and more interestingly these entrepreneurs have more in common than you'd think. This is what this little book is all about - a compilation of habits and attitudes that make up a winner. Consider this a guide of sorts that can help you reach your goals and your entrepreneurial dreams. Now, the mere fact that you picked up this book means you are on your way to success. Your eagerness to learn and broaden your knowledge is an attitude that will help you succeed. And the fact that you chose to be an entrepreneur means you have the audacity to succeed. But before we move on to the heart of the matter, let us first consider the two most important terminologies - attitude and habit.

The Maltese Connection

The Maltese Connection

For this revised, updated paperback edition (August 2021), I have corrected a few mistakes and added some new material. It can be read as a standalone or as book 1 in the D ra the Detective Trilogy or book 4 in the Inspector Morose Series.Frustrated at the low murder-rate in Iceland, D ra leaps at the opportunity to participate in a six-month job swap in Malta as part of a new UNESCO cultural exchange programme ("The Inter-Islands Initiative"). Having vowed never to be separated from D ra again and not averse to some hot weather, Morose tags along with the twins, Elegy and Embalmer. D ra is hoping to find herself a nice juicy murder in sundrenched Malta which is conveniently situated at the crossroads of international crime with its French, Libyan and Sicilian connections. Soon, she is helping her boss, Inspector Deboneo of the Maltese CID, an original but eccentric thinker, solve the murders of two single mature female tourists. Will they be able to catch the Bugibba Strangler before the serial killer destroys the Maltese tourist industry? And has poor old Morose been left on the sidelines holding the babies?
