Nassau and the Bahamian out island of Abaco hold painful memories for Corey Pearson, CIA station chief for the Caribbean Basin. Nassau was where he met his wife, Danielle. And it was during a mission on Abaco when Danielle was brutally murdered. 
Pearson finds himself back in the Bahamas to investigate the abduction and murder of a fellow agent. Surrounded by Nassau’s familiar sights and sounds, Pearson struggles not to let memories of Danielle overshadow his mission—a struggle that becomes ever more difficult as he uncovers evidence connecting his wife’s horrific death to a deep data mining project known as the Penumbra Database. As Pearson discovers, everyone wants the database—from an Islamic narcoterrorism group planning a major attack on US soil to players in an ongoing contest between the FBI and the CIA for control of domestic surveillance. As for the jihadists, their plan is rapidly approaching fruition. They have all the weaponry and religious zeal they need. Their target? An upcoming World Series game—one the US president plans to attend. Danielle may have died for the Penumbra Database, and unless Pearson acts quickly, many more will follow her into the grave.

Mitford (later to become the first Lord Redesdale) was an urbane aristocrat, had charm, looks and excellent manners. He was always in the right place at the right time, almost drowned, could have burned to death, was shot at, and was nearly cut down by samurai swords. But 'Bertie', as he was known, was never fazed by events. He stood face-to-face with the new, teenage Emperor when almost everybody else, including the Shogun, could only talk to him behind a screen. He became friendly with the last Shogun and witnessed a hara-kiri, his atmospheric account of which is now a classic. An accomplished linguist and writer, Mitford was the outstanding chronicler of the Meiji Restoration, complementing the writings of his contemporary Ernest Satow. This book will be of particular interest to students and readers of Japanese history, as well as readers of nineteenth-century biography in general. It will also have special appeal to those who are familiar with the Mitford family history.

Harry Parkes was at the heart of Britain's relations with the Far East from the start of his working life at fourteen, to his death at fifty-seven. Orphaned at the age of five, he went to China on his own as a child and worked his way to the top. God-fearing and fearless, he believed his mission was to bring trade and 'civilisation' to East Asia. In his day, he was seen as both a hero and a monster and is still bitterly resented in China for his part in the country's humiliations at Western hands, but largely esteemed in Japan for helping it to industrialise. Morton's new biography, the first in over thirty years, and benefiting in part from access to the Parkes' family and archives, offers a more intimate and informed profile of the personal and professional life of a Victorian titan and one of Britain's most undiplomatic diplomats in the history of the British Civil Service.
