Fans of crime thrillers, gather here. We have two copies of The Soft Underbelly – the thrilling new debut novel from former Foreign Service diplomat, Carlisle Richardson.
The Soft Underbelly is a crime thriller set in a fictitious Caribbean country, involving murder, political instability, corruption, and the threat of war. The story follows two investigators, local police officer Gerald Brookes, and M16 agent Fiona Sawyer, who are trying to find the links between the murder of a young customs agent accused of stealing imported goods, an attempt to overthrow the sitting prime minister, an international weapons trafficking ring one step ahead of authorities, and a mysterious expat living on the island.

As their investigations lead them closer to the truth, they uncover a plot to assassinate a British Member of Parliament, which would potentially reignite hostilities between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falkland Islands. In what used to be a tropical paradise, police officer Gerald Brookes and Ml6 agent Fiona Sawyer race against time to save the day.
