In 1952, John Taverner, recently discharged from the British army, meets Felix Mole by chance on platform three of the Swindon railway station.Mole is the owner of Sam''s, a saloon and gaming establishment in Tangier. Over a British railways breakfast, Felix offers John a job looking after the accounts at Sam''s, should he ever be in Tangier. Disillusioned with life in postwar England, young Taverner throws caution to the wind and takes off for Morocco for a new life in the International Zone that is Tangier. He finds on his arrival that in spite of his lack of experience, Felix wants him to not only manage the accounts, but take over the running of Sam''s. The people he works with in Tangier are a far cry from those in his native Dorset, and the adventures he experiences are far beyond anything he would ever have imagined, including smuggling, the Cold War, and relationships of a romantic nature.Author Bio : Peter Clements has written five novels.

The Lysander Passenger is a story of treachery, betrayal, and duplicity; human failings that all men and governments are capable of, and which can cause many deaths in wartime.Britain, in 1942, should have been a safe place for a French resistance fighter visiting his handlers in the Security Intelligence Service.Sergeant Ian Gifford of the RAF, along with other pilots of the Special Squadron at Tempsford, risk their lives with every flight into occupied France. For their enemy is not only the Luftwaffe, but the weather.Four Soviet agents dropped into France by the RAF knew their chances of fulfilling their secret mission were close to zero, but Moscow gave them no choice.This compelling tale of World War II intrigues involves combatants from several nations, all depending on transportation on the British Lysander aircraft. As an aviator, the warplane has intrigued the author for years. The Lysander was one of the great special mission aircraft of WWII, requiring exceptional low-speed handling, downward visibility, and short takeoff and landing capabilities. The missions were extremely dangerous, as the planes had to drop off or pick up downed airmen and special agents, explosives, weapons, and other supplies from tiny improvised airstrips in enemy territory.Peter Clements has written five novels.
