    About this ebook

    "Slayer by Stealth" is an absorbing work with several amusing characters and a gripping storyline. This page-turning novel will keep the readers hooked till the end. Excerpt "THE CLOCK IN the town of Laurenco Marques was just striking midnight at the moment Dan Turcan stepped from the gloom of the arches flanking the Avenida Aquila and hurried toward the plaza. He gained the shadow of the palmetto trees, then came to an abrupt halt, looking keenly about him. Someone had been shadowing him up from the wharf but there was no sign of him now. Reassured, he made his way more leisurely toward the Governor's residence through the Vasco da Gama gardens."
