ANSAKI DEVOUT

by Paul OGarra

Overview

 

Ansaki Devout.A brief synopsis

In today's world of political and universal corruption, where powers nefarious and often official are working to change the very physical and mental nature of children. Illegal wars are being created for the financial enhancement of the usual few, and millions are dying as a result. And Trillions are being stolen by others generally off states and their innocent people. Someone has finally reached the point at which he or she takes matters into his hands, and has assassinated a highly disreputable American Senator.

The killer has published a confession, an explanation of why he murdered this man, and he elicits other illuminated people all over the globe to do as he has done and murder their local evil monger. The success of his request is enormous and killings of people with shady reputations start to happen everywhere. The idea is to commit a single act and then disappear, leaving it to the authorities to search fruitlessly for what they call clean skins.

International pressure for the discovery and arrest of the first killer is enormous, as it is believed that with his arrest the balloon will burst and the murders will stop. Heading the task force are top investigators from the Spanish National Police and the Guardia Civil, the para-military police. This is their story, the story of Chief Inspector Juan Betardo Solis and Captain Jose Garcia's investigation, a story which unravels in the Costa Del Sol, Morocco, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, and the tale of their many suspects.

About the Author

Paul OGarra was born in Gibraltar on the 8th of May 1952. His father, Louis, was a British schoolteacher from Manchester turned soldier by the war and served with the Royal Artillery on the Rock. He returned after the war was over and started a school, St Josephs, the first postwar school. Gibraltar still having, but scantily, recovered from the turbulent years. The nightly air raids and flak barrages, the suffering that comes with any major armed conflict still vividly engrained in the recent memory of the wartime inhabitants. Trying to get back to business as usual as the troopships began to dock in the harbour. They carried the many returning refugee families who had been evacuated by the Royal Navy. So many Gibraltarian people exiled by war to the UK, and to further off, and more exotic places such as Madeira, French Morocco, Jamaica, and Northern Ireland. Louis married Teresa Azzopardi, the beautiful young daughter, the baby of a family of Gibraltarian ship chandlers, fervent Roman Catholics, descendants of intrepid men and women who had rowed in their longboats from Malta to make a home on the Rock. Louis and Teresa had four children of whom Paul was the third eldest. The children were reared with English discipline, learning, and romantic literature on the one hand, and a large local family of uncles, aunts, cousins, and a doting grandmother, who was Spanish from Cadiz, on the other.Childhood was spent roaming across the Up South, Rosia, and Europa Point areas of Gibraltar engaging in childish games and adventures, reading extensively books such as Enid Blyton's adventure series, Famous Five, Secret Seven, Swallows and Amazons Forever, John Buchan and the Gorbal diehards. Saturday mornings were a day for delving and searching through the shelves of the old Garrison library to discover new horizons, characters, and stories. The journey of discovery that had begun with Baba the Elephant eventually began to grow richer as the classics were devoured.Paul was educated at Bishop Fitzgerald's school where his father was the headmaster and insisted on treating all the boys equally. Subsequently, he attended Gibraltar Grammar School, until seeing fellow students of Jewish persuasion prepare to leave for Tel Aviv to defend Israel. The Jewish boys had their adventure spoiled by the premature arrival of General Moshe Dayan at the gates of Cairo. Israel´s direst moment had been overcome and young students from all over the world were no longer so necessary that their studies and futures could be jeopardized. The General with a patch over his eye, the new unchallenged darling of the Western world. Paul, at the earliest time possible set off in a steamer from Tangiers, sailing to Southampton with a friend who was shipping Moroccan leather goods to the UK. After working a spell in London he left the UK to discover his roots in Malta. Later it was a case of returning to Gib. Only to fly away again to discover new places. He alternated callings as a tour guide of Morocco and recoverer of broken down rented cars in the desert, tour guide of south Spain and eventually running a Flamenco club on the Costa del Sol, in the days when the Costa was still a new and exciting place to visit.In later years Paul was to marry and have a family of three girls, own and run Estate agency businesses in the UK and Spain. Eventually, he set off again to discover new places in the Middle and Far East and the Philippines, and when Perestroika and Glasnost finally arrived at the hands of Mihail Gorbachev and the Soviet Union was open, set off to discover the East. He studied Russian at St Petersburg and spent time travelling to the Republic of Udmurtia, Kazan, Siberia, and up an uncharted river to meet Tribes that still lived in the area. Nizhny Novgorod and the South Volga. Then to Ukraine travelling from city to city, falling more and more in love with the great Russian writers and painters as he went.Twenty two years ago at the age of fifty, Paul
