Download or read book The Cellar written by Minette Walters and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilling psychological suspense with “exceptional punch” from the Edgar Award–winning author of The Dark Room (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). It seems like a respectable British home, occupied by the Songolis, an upstanding family of African immigrants. But hidden within the cellar is Muna—a teenage girl who cooks for them, cleans for them, endures brutal abuse from them . . . and is powerless to escape. Then one day, the Songolis’ ten-year-old son fails to come home from school, and Scotland Yard arrives at the house to investigate. While they look into the boy’s disappearance, Muna must play the role of beloved daughter. She suddenly has a real bedroom, with sunlight, and real clothing to wear. But she must continue to keep quiet—and hide the fact that she has learned how to speak English. Even as the police are watching, her secret life of enslavement goes on. But Muna is hatching a plan—and her acts of rebellion and revenge will be more terrifying than this family could have imagined—in this dark, twisting tale that represents “contemporary crime writing at its absolute peak” (Val McDermid).

Book Synopsis The Most Dangerous Thinker by : Ezekiel Dayo Adetunji
Download or read book The Most Dangerous Thinker written by Ezekiel Dayo Adetunji and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whom do you tell? Who would have believed it? Sometimes you see a priest, pastor, or imam being led off in handcuffs because he molested children, having been found fornicating and committing adultery, while his superiors are concerned with the church’s image or the mosque’s reputation and have a nonchalant attitude towards the victims crying out for help. It wouldn’t be funny to see the chief executive officer of one of the world’s biggest corporations being sentenced to life imprisonment for embezzlement, leaving millions of employees without their jobs, their homes, or their life savings. What about politicians who sell their votes for personal gain, betraying the trust of the masses and callously disregarding the needs of those they promised to care for? They are stealing in the name of a party platform. I wouldn’t be surprised to see nurses, doctors, managers, and supervisors from hospitals, nursing homes, care agencies, and residential homes being sentenced to life imprisonment, turning mad, and becoming killers of mental health patients because of injustices, bad treatment, and mischievousness. How much do managers give to those in positions below them, maltreating them for no reason? The managers refuse to train the junior employees because the former don’t want the latter to attain a managerial level. How interesting it will be to hear that every story we read in the newspapers today is as a result of phone hacking. We think we are reading nice stories, but some people’s personal information has been leaked in a way that hurts them and their precious families. This happens all over the world. Then it is reported in the world news as if it were good news. What about police? They are harbouring criminals and collecting bribes to pervert the course of justice, refusing to do certain investigations. Doctors are not left out. Millions of patients trust doctors to heal them, but then the doctors turn into assassins. What about civil servants working in the government? They promised to do the job, but they are not doing it. Hey, my friend, what about the teachers who are to teach and instil knowledge in young people so they can become good leaders in future? They eventually turn into businessmen and businesswomen, refusing to let their students pass their examinations, following young women around and harassing them, deceiving them with the little money they get to feed their families at home because they want to see their knickers! One of the most lucrative fields in the world to work in today is the travel industry, but it has been polluted beyond a doubt. To secure a booking or get a ticket to travel abroad to the country of your choice for holiday, you might end up paying extra fares or paying through the back door. Oh, dear God, have mercy; I know you are watching our movements! People are killing in the name of religion, which is another escalating news story. Around the world today, we can see a lots of groups with different names springing up, such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and al-Qaeda. These and many others think they are seeking the face of the almighty God, but this is a lie. They are committing crimes—killing, stealing, kidnapping—in the name of God. God hasn’t sent you to kill but to love one another and bring the lost soul to his marvellous life!
Book Synopsis Me, My Mother, My Life by : Ayomide Adeniola
Download or read book Me, My Mother, My Life written by Ayomide Adeniola and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Me, My Mother, My life is a poetic journey through the trials of a young woman who longed to break free of the burden of an oppressive family legacy. Beautifully narrated, the author unblinkingly examines her life experiences, telling her story in a way that only one who has deeply experienced life, love, and God could portray. Born in London to Nigerian parents, Ayomide spent her childhood and young adulthood in the country of her parent's origin where life for this young British girl was to be grabbed by both hands with spirit, good humour, and great resolve. When she returned to England, her faith in God led her on an odyssey to heal the generational issues with which she had long been faced. Beyond its value as a beautifully-constructed and gripping memoir, this book leads the readers into their own private journey of reflection on their personal relationships, containing the wisdom of emotional and spiritual healing as well as personal growth. Not for the faint-hearted, Me, My Mother, My Life will deepen your understanding of life, love, and the value of forgiveness. A well-written personal tale of a woman's trials of the spirit and her passage to healing. -Kirkus Adeniola writes well and is a sensitive observer ... the trajectory of her life from her student days in Nigeria to her professional life in England is genuinely interesting. Her writing is informed by her Christian faith, but not in a way that puts off more secular readers. -BlueInk Culture clash meets generation gap in this memoir by Ayomide Adeniola ... Adeniola's memoir remains compelling because of the strong family bond that comes through no matter how contentious the conversation. With Me, My Mother, My Life, Adeniola uncovers the basic truth of many family arguments: we wouldn't fight so much if we didn't care so deeply. -ForeWord Clarion

Book excerpt: Nigeria is rich in oil, drugs and blood rivals—on both the domestic and international fronts. Mack Bolan's ticket into the chaos is a rescue operation involving the kidnapped daughter of an American petroleum executive. Her safe but violent return brings the warrior to phase two of his scorched-earth campaign against the escalating guerrilla violence in this country's delta state. Knowing that confused enemies mount ineffective defenses, Bolan launches multiple precision strikes, luring into the open hostile tribal factions vying for control of the oil fields. At the same time, Chinese and Russian agents are cutting themselves in on the region's untapped fortune in oil. It's the kind of blood-and-thunder mission that Bolan fights best, the kind of war that keeps him in his element long enough to defeat the enemy and—with luck—get out alive.
