Book Description
A small town. A happy couple. An accountant with a grudge. A corporate deal-maker on the prowl. An unexplored portal to nobody-knows-where. If Beckman Spiers thought life and love had been all figured out when he arrived in Sunrise, met Lolita Milan, and changed his career, he’s about to find out things aren’t that easy. This quirky town has a secret, and Lolita’s ex-boyfriend has a scheme that threatens to scupper Beckman’s new job, destroy Lolita’s business ambitions, and drive a wedge between them. The only way out may be to gamble everything – even their own lives. The sequel to the original, “laugh out loud funny” comedy-drama “Tow Away Zone” is a dramatic comedy caper fuelled by coffee, friendships and switchbacks aplenty.

Book Description
When a travelling salesman finds a town that’s not on the map, he must choose between love and a long-held promise of untold riches. Beckman Spiers is a grey man in a grey world — and he’s happy with that. After twelve years of routine and grind, he’s again fighting to become The Pegasus Corporation’s lauded Number One Salesman of the Year. Legend has it, Number Ones get so rich, they never work again. With a week to go, Beckman is gaining on his nemesis, smooth-talking Tyler Quittle. When a chance blowout on a deserted Arizona road leaves Beckman stranded, the enigmatic Saul arrives, and tows him to the curious neon-lit town of Sunrise. Here, he meets the glamorous Lolita Milan, sparks fly, and his fortunes change. Yet, Sunrise’s small-town charms conceal secrets, and his world becomes one of fraught friendships, private investigators, and backstabbing business deals. What will he have to do to reach Number One? And what will he do if he wins the race? In this stylistic and mysterious romantic comedy, meet the most unique characters and get pulled into the colourful world of Sunrise. Praise for Tow Away Zone : “A gripping yarn - quirky characters, a pacy plot and a setting like you've never read before. A fun ol' read.” Paul Kerensa, Comedian & British Comedy Award-winning TV co-writer BBC’s Miranda, Not Going Out, Top Gear “Very enjoyable and easy to read with an unusual plot that keeps you guessing throughout. Highly recommended.” ★★★★★ “This is a brilliant story. Clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and mysterious all at the same time. Heartily recommended.” ★★★★★ “Really good fun to read with more than a touch of darkness, so much neon, a very odd pet and the best breakdown service on the planet. Very enjoyable and highly recommended!” ★★★★★ “An original, inventive storyline and a variety of three-dimensional characters that you will genuinely care about. Dialogue sharp enough to shave with, well-paced and bubbling with humour.” ★★★★★ “In a surprising town, a salesman finds everything he ever wanted. This is such an incredibly interesting story. I couldn't put it down. And I could never decide if the town was real or not. But the characters could have lived next door!” ★★★★★ “This is one of those books that will leave you with a smile on your face. Funny, relatable perfect characters, a story that kept me turning the pages and an ending that did not disappoint. This is a great book to take on holiday because it is light-hearted and fun.” ★★★★★ “I struggle to compare this book with others. The words 'unique' and 'inventive' come to mind. The dialogue is well-crafted and funny, the characters are wonderfully individual, and the narrative is a kaleidoscope of colourful drama. This book will stick with you.” ★★★★★ "It’s funny, it’s witty, it’s hilarious in places and it’s also quite serious if need be. I have to say I’m blown away by it." "The narrative of the story keeps you gripped and there is drama and comedic moments a-plenty! An easy and pleasant read from start to finish." "I did have a good chuckle while reading this book, the characters are likeable, the twists and turns in the story are unpredictable and the plot itself is quite unusual. " "I thought this was a fun read with quirky, likeable characters that kept me interested. I chuckled along with the what on earth is going to happen next-ness of the book, appreciated how things wrapped back around on themselves, and I’d happily read another." "At times the book feels like a moral tale, at others we veer into magical realism and on other occasions we find ourselves almost in the middle of a thriller. With memorable characters and a light-hearted style, its a book that certainly has some unusual twists and turns. " "This is a quirky, light-hearted read. A great concept - very original. "

Book Description
"[A] summer must read." — SEAN HANNITY, Fox News "[No Go Zones] should be required reading for conservatives, Republicans, liberals, teachers, students, reporters, editors, and activists all alike." —NIGEL FARAGE, Member of the European Parliament No Go Zones. That's what they're called. And while the politically correct try to deny their existence, the shocking reality of these "No Go Zones"—where Sharia law can prevail and local police stay away—can be attested to by its many victims. Now Raheem Kassam, a courageous reporter and editor at Breitbart, takes us where few journalists have dared to tread—inside the No Go Zones, revealing areas that Western governments, including the United States, don't want to admit exist within their own borders. With compelling reporting, Kassam takes you into Islamic areas you might not even know existed—communities, neighborhoods, and whole city districts from San Bernardino, California, (a No Go Zone of the mind) to Hamtramck, Michigan (essentially an Islamic colony in the Midwest); from Malmö, Sweden, to the heart of London, England—where infidels are unwelcome, Islamic law is king, and extremism grows. In No Go Zones, Kassam reveals: How in No Go Zones a blind eye is being turned to polygamy, female genital mutilation, sexual assault, segregation, and even honor killings Why Muslim ghettos in the West aren't the equivalent of Little Italy or Chinatown, but a serious cultural and political threat How the welfare state actually funds and supports a Muslim subculture of resentment How to identify extremist mosques A matter of numbers: how mass migration could transform Europe into a Muslim-dominated continent within our own lifetimes The alarming speed at which No Go Zones are coming to America Compelling in its reporting, shocking in its detail, Raheem Kassam's No Go Zones is one of the most frightening true stories you will read this year.
