Shaikh-Down

On the Persian Gulf island of Belaj, British air-hostesses and Egyptian belly-dancers are working overtime to relieve oversexed citizens of their frustrations and petrodollars. One of the punters is murdered: whisky-soaked publisher Farouk whose randy wife Nayla is a niece of the local despot, His Highness Shaikh Khaled bin Khalifa al-Khazi.

Newcomer Cass, an East London housewife, becomes a $500 hooker. Sammy-Jo, an American stewardess with page-3-girl boobs, and bisexual British banker Eddy are drawn into a plot by BARF (Belaj Armed Revolutionary Front) to assassinate Shaikh Khaled in a bizarre bedroom romp.

What happens after the coup? Will it be the Dawn of Democracy - or "Whoops Apocalypse"? (And what unnerving fate does the author predict for Muammar Gaddafi and other tyrannical Arab rulers?)

“Witty, entertaining, raunchy and very well written.” Peter O’Donnell, creator of Modesty Blaise

“Ribald and politically incorrect. Set in a fictitious but absolutely believable Arab state where sheikhs and their minions are locked in a life-and-death struggle to survive the relentless move towards democracy. Entertaining.” Gay Times
“Probably a Zionist plot masterminded by the CIA to undermine the good image of morally irreproachable Gulf Arabs.” Gulf Times

About the Author

I've worked in telecomms and journalism in London and the Persian Gulf, but have now settled back onto my native Sussex South Downs to a life of writing and rustic pursuits (pub-lunches and dog-walking!) You can read Extracts from some of my yet-to-be-published novels at www.abctales.com, including my 'romantic thriller' LILLIAN AND THE ITALIANS - written to show my mother that there would be life after 50. Paradise Press in LOndon will publish THE BEXHILL MISSILE CRISIS in 2014 as a paperback and ebook.
