The Baghdad Declaration

Lionel Ross

i2i Publishing

Lionel Ross, in his fourth novel Men of Conviction tells the fascinating tale of three desperate and disparate young men, released from prison on the same day. They are Hussein, the Islamist preacher of Jihad, Wayne the burglar and Dovid the religious Jew and one offence fraudster. Men of Conviction is their story over the ensuing ten years. Hussein, predictably, builds a shadowy Jihadist organisation with the intention, through terrorism, of creating the Caliphate of Britannia under Shari a law. Wayne is determined to change his life and almost accidently finds himself the owner of a chain of Massage Parlours. By his previous standards, this is the path to wealth and respectability! Dovid, on the other hand, with the aid of his wealthy grandfather, becomes a successful property developer. The action takes place in such contrasting locations as 21st century Manchester, Istanbul, Afghanistan, Belfast and a mysterious breakaway Islamic republic. The contemporary background to the plots ensures the airing of such issues as Islamist and Irish terrorism, religious intolerance and drug trading. The main characters are easily recognised as typical members of today s British multi-cultural society. As the cataclysmic ending approaches, the paths of the three main characters are destined to cross again in an epic and amazing ending.

So there he was sat in his dressing room waiting for his call to perform and then show time Darren walked out onto the stage to face his biggest audience he did not do to well and was glad when it was all over and then went back to his dressing room. Along the wall to his dressing room were pictures of famous comedians who has played at the Palace and one of them was Parley Grainger Darren's hero and he gave Parley a smile as he passed when he got into his dressing room he poured himself a drink as he needed one and made a gesture towards the hallway and said.

The ghost of Parley appeared to Darren and said he was going to help him he could not believe what was happening and thought his drink had been spiked from that moment on Darren went on a journey with Parley when he Parley suggested he enter his body and he became Darren and he only had to utter the words (Be gone) and Parley would come out. This he did and Darren became famous by winning a contest ran by the Palace that made it the talk of the town and Darren won a Mercedes car.
