Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What do a Mexican beauty, a Scottish chauffeur, a British aristocrat, a Russian agent (and his Russian servant), a Monaco art dealer, a Russian oil baron, an Italian used car salesman and a French fisherman have in common ? They are all involved in an intertwined plot to rig art auctions, smuggle cocaine, and a convoluted attempt to open a new ethnic restaurant - all of which go spectacularly wrong and create "Mayhem in Monte Carlo". The plot roams from the moors of the Highlands as the lonely chauffeur tries to help his 'lady' to sell her Rolls Royce in Monaco, to the auction houses of Europe where the 'Lady' joins an art ring determined to bump the price of worthless Italian 'kitsch'. Meanwhile, Paz - the Mexican model from book one in the Trilogy, ("The little brown diamond") is lured to Monaco by her former Russian lover to open that Mexican eatery. It is a love that goes very sour as the cocaine snorting Russian slowly loses grip on reality - cocaine, by the way, that his boss is smuggling into Britain in the spare wheel of that Rolls Royce. The smuggling plot unravels and the Russian Oil Baron has to add murder to his many nefarious occupations. And the body is dumped at sea by the accommodating French fisherman. This unceremonious dumping is where the plot starts and where the novel ends. In between enjoy watching the characters get on each others nerves, cheat on each other and try and involve the palace. The author, a veteran international advertising man, knows how to keep the action going, make the reading easy and the characters amusing when they aren't being grisly and sinister. "It's a good read, fast paced and funny," says a Dutch reviewer. "Even though the twists and turns can drive you dizzy from time to time !" We doubt you will get dizzy. But you will enjoy the ride !

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. After the "Mayhem" of her trip to Monte Carlo, Paz, the heroine of volumes one and two of the trilogy, finds herself back in Florida opening a beauty salon. Her daughter, working for a local newspaper, is sent to interview a newly opened local "cat farm" where "gentlemen" are provided with what they are obviously not getting at home. Natasha, the daughter, tries to convince her mother that adding sex and "look-book" education to her salon facilities would broaden her appeal and diversify her income. Hamish, Paz's Scottish husband, lands a job introducing classical music on a local radio station. His unique style is heard by the head of a new up-market cruise line who invites the family on a free cruise to St Petersburg in return for hosting on board concerts. In Russia, a well-intentioned but nave professor in Smolensk has invented a BCA (Brain Control Apparatus) with which he plans to control useless speech in the world and thus encourage action over verbiage. A rogue KGB unit finances his invention and encourages him to adapt the machine to control movement as well. They hope to take over the government and return Russia to its Soviet glory years. The KGB in Moscow worry about the Professors trip to St Petersburg . They trace him and the others to the Sex School. Just behind the KGB is a lone CIA operator called Malloy sent to grab the BCA device for the USA. Events escalate as both sides try to gain the upper hand, leading to a stand off between a US Carrier group and a Russian Missile cruiser. Malloy finally gains the upper hand, and not only arranges the liquidation of many of the rogue agents but manages to get the US and Russian Presidents to work together to eliminate the threat of this powerful but dangerous new weapon.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. If you liked 'Mad Men' you will love this story. Paz, a beautiful Mexican-American, dreams of being a model. She gets her chance when a hard driving ad man chooses her to be spokes-person for a dark Mexican beer blend being imported into Florida. The campaign slogan "brown power" is taken over by the main Mexican opposition party and Paz becomes the spokes-person for a US style political campaign that transforms the political landscape by encouraging Mexican nationalism, macho values and anti-Americanism. This angers Washington and London who do their best to undermine the campaign. They get their break when the heroine becomes pregnant after a tumultuous affair with a Russian diplomat and is ridiculed for her chastity message. At the same time the chief political agent is murdered and the event blamed on the campaign group, causing a fast paced dash through Mexico to escape before arrested. The police chief who is supposed to catch them ends up (for his own reasons) helping them escape with the aid of the Russian Embassy. In the end, many things you are lead to believe about events you just read turn out to be very different than expected. Parts of the story are based on actual events and incidentally show you how international advertising and political campaigns are developed. Which is no surprise as the author spent 40 years in International Advertising helping build the world's largest advertising agency. He has lived in all the countries the plot includes: France, America, Costa Rica, Mexico and England. Voted by a reading group in Monte Carlo (where the author lives) as a 'must read novel', The Little Brown Diamond is actually the first book in a trilogy. The second volume (Mayhem in Monaco) is also presently available and sees our Heroine, Paz, embroiled in new dramas in Monaco. Volume three (to be published in 2014) moves to Russia and involves a sex education school which becomes embroiled in a KGB plot to overthrow the Russian government. Poor paz, wherever she goes drama evolves. Fun for us. Not so funny for her !!! Enjoy. This item is printed on demand.
