Three separate and distinct thrillers: Whirlpool, The Serbian Solution, and Afric.

In a drug induced dream, a woman in the US retrieves a suppressed memory from her European childhood. This memory leads to her own kidnapping and a wild chase across England and Wales in the company of a reluctant American doctor. In a tiny village in western England, a deluded old man dreams of becoming a king. And in a London apartment an old lady, born in the days of the Czars, maintains a guilty secret of tainted royal blood. Set amidst the turmoil at the end of the Cold War, The Serbian Solution is a tale of adventure and romance, culminating in a desperate final voyage.

The year is 1923, and the Jazz Age is in full swing. Evangeline Murray, a young widow from Ohio, is recruited by the Women’s Freedom Movement to represent the spirit of modern womanhood by going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Evangeline eagerly embraces her opportunity to achieve fame and fortune, until she sees the power of the river and begins to understand the risk she is taking. Joshua McClaren, an enigmatic battle-scarred veteran of World War I, and the best boatman of the Canadian shore of the Niagara, reluctantly agrees to launch the headstrong Evangeline.
