For the Love of Havana

By Victor Metcalf

Lotus is the code name for the head of a secret organisation, the Drosera, who create super-killers from the equivalent of retired soccer moms. These agents work in plain sight across the globe and are capable of cooking a lamb casserole for lunch and assassinating a taker despot before dinner with no one any the wiser. They’re predators acting on the fringe of our consciousness with a singular purpose of creating a better world for us to live in. Their missions encompass both sides of the conflict between the haves and have-nots, including all the major corporations and governments. Always found in positions of significant influence, they offer their services in exchange for the restoration of their youth, health and beauty.

Drosera started in the time-locked city of Havana, with five sisters — all natural born killers — carefully groomed and recruited by Lotus and her twin, but over time it would grow into the powerful organisation it is today.

Should you meet a beautiful, unselfish woman who has no motive other than to promote your wellbeing and success, she may well be one of the deadly Drosera agents, so beware, mind your manners and behave.

Another fast-paced novel by the author of Brutal Bullion and Send Flowers.

I'm a husband, father and recently a grandfather, these are my most important biographical features.I have numerous technical and financial qualifications, having held executive positions with numerous listed and private companies across the globe, none of which are relevant to my writing. I served my country faithfully in the 'bush wars' an experience which has had an influence on my writing. I love my God, my wife, my family, my way of life and my country equally.. and each feel the same way about me.My writing started with the Children's fables each containing subtle, and sometimes not so subtle messages to my three grandchildren that might provide guidance in their navigation of our ever-changing and confusing world. My novel writing started as a result of the free time the Covid 19 pandemic created so I sat down and gave it a try, to discover another new delight I didn't know existed.I live and write in paradise, a village called Knysna in the heart of the garden route on the south coast of South Africa where every passing day is a new blessing.I aspired to these values - Honesty, Dignity and Respect in my quest to become a happier human being. I often fall down and get up again, but I think its starting to work!!! Thank you for your interest in my stories...I pray they shine more light into your life as they have mine.
