A satirical take on the classic zombie genre. Paul Shobnall was the first of the dead to rise. He didn't know he was the first and probably wouldn't have cared if he had. If he was concerned with anything at all, it was why he couldn't really feel his legs, why his girlfriend didn't seem to want sex with him anymore and why everybody was gripped by mass-hysteria and generally running around screaming. It was a really odd Monday morning. With no particular craving for human flesh, or toast, Paul struggles to make sense of a post apocalyptic society, while a post apocalyptic society struggles to make sense of the ever increasing dead who continuously block revolving doors and fail to queue in an orderly fashion. Maybe Robert Thompson can sort it out. Having been shot in the head, he does what anybody else with a huge personal fortune and half a brain does; he goes into politics. Or maybe, Robert Thompson has much darker and destructive plans...

This world has always been a place of wonder. People are born and die for many reasons even though most of us never really find out, in this life, what those reasons are. But for each person born, there is an ancient plan that is in place. Hidden within the pages of this story is one man's part in this eternal plan. His journey is one that will take him through battles of the mind and heart as well as the physical realm. Battles which lead to his salvation and peace with the world around him and with himself.

Meet Horatio Arthur Mills; valet to Lord George Pelham, 'war hero' and thoroughly decent chap. Oh, he has his faults of course, such as murdering the odd person or two, well, more than two, but who's counting? Probably best not to keep count, all things considered and besides, it's just not done, and even if it is, it's definitely not cricket. Unless it was with a cricket bat... As the 1920s start to roar, Horatio and George are reluctantly obliged to visit the country seat of the rather unsavoury Prayman family. But after a mysterious fire kills Lord Prayman and a maid is brutally murdered, George declares they must solve the crime as a matter of duty, while Horatio has different concerns. Even though he hasn't killed anybody in simply ages, the finger of suspicion slowly starts to point towards him and Horatio has more impetus than most to find the real killer. And if the killer can't be found, well he'll just have to frame someone won't he? But the question is, who? Or possibly, whom? First in the series of darkly comic crime-thrillers from writer Stephen Ellis. Horatio: Jeeves and Wooster meets American Psycho.

An introductory text.

"Nigeria and Nigerians have acquired a notorious reputation for involvement in drug-trafficking, fraud, cyber-crime and other types of serious crime. Successful Nigerian criminal networks have a global reach, interacting with their Italian, Latin American and Russian counterparts. Yet in 1944, a British colonial official wrote that 'the number of persistent and professional criminals is not great' in Nigeria and that 'crime as a career has so far made little appeal to the young Nigerian'. This book traces the origins of Nigerian organised crime to the last years of colonial rule, when nationalist politicians acquired power at a regional level. In need of funds for campaigning, they offered government contracts to foreign businesses in return for kickbacks, in a pattern that recurs to this day. Political corruption encouraged a wider disrespect for the law that spread throughout Nigerian society. When the country's oil boom came to an end in the early 1980s, young Nigerian college graduates headed abroad, eager to make money by any means. Nigerian crime went global at the very moment new criminal markets were emerging all over the world"--
