BLOOD FOR PEARLS

About BLOOD FOR PEARLS

A Legacy Written in Blood and Pearls…

In 1498, the world was on the brink of a seismic shift. Christopher Columbus, during his fateful third voyage, stumbled upon the Pearl Coast—an enchanting realm teeming with riches beyond imagination. Yet, behind the glistening pearls lay a dark and treacherous history that would forever change the course of human lives.

At the heart of this gripping historical thriller lies Cubagua Island, a place where dreams and nightmares intertwined. Here, the lives of two souls, Charaima, a Native American, and Dembe, an African, were forever altered. Enslaved by the avaricious European invaders and subjected to unimaginable cruelty under the sadistic Captain Pedro, they clung to each other, united by a shared determination to secure their people’s freedom.

Hidden amidst the chaos and suffering, a cache of pearls was concealed in a buried clay jar—a symbol of hope and a means to their liberation.

Have you ever enjoyed a night out with friends, only to wake up the next day feeling like you’ve aged a decade? Now, imagine if that sensation wasn’t just a hangover but a reality.

Club Llithium is the hottest nightclub in town. Within the confines of an abandoned church, devoted hopefuls wait for hours, seeking the slightest chance of entry. Among the fortunate few granted access, strong drinks, beautiful people, and an unparalleled experience await.

Bea is a graduate student who finds herself suddenly homeless, but by a stroke of luck, she discovers a new roommate in the wealthy heiress Mal. Reluctantly, she suspends her thesis and gives in to Mal’s enticements to join her at Club Llithium.

It doesn’t take long for Bea to be swept up in the enchantment and allure of the club, where the themes change nightly, and the charming owner, Cam, takes a keen interest in her. However, not all is as it seems, as stories of missing girls and mysterious deaths are told in hushed whispers.

Follow Bea’s journey as she uncovers the dark secrets buried deep under the majestic world of the privileged and elite who manage the club.

Will she find her answers in time before sinister machinations focus their gaze upon her?

The story embraces the supernatural gothic setting and sprinkles in just the right amount of horror elements to entertain the reader without overwhelming them with gore.

If you enjoy mainstream horror writers like Stephen King and modern retellings of lore and legends from the likes of Neil Gaiman, you’ll be thrilled to find both woven together inside Club Llithium.

Offered the chance to run his twin brother’s A.I. company, Anthony Wilson ditches his failing screenwriting career to start anew in Macau.

See Glass

About See Glass

An Amazon Charts International bestseller

If you enjoy Nelson DeMille, Ken Follett, John Grisham or Dan Brown then you will love Ido Graf!

This suspense novel recounts a political conspiracy to subvert the democratic process and National Security in the USA and the West by far-right groups and a serving President. But why?’ It has a basis in fact.
“If ever a novel was ready to be made into a feature film it is this one – action, thrills, mystery, historical intrigue and romance, it has all the ingredients for the big screen. (See Glass) …grabs you from the very start as its clever prologue leads into 400 pages of rip-roaring adventure, the mostly short chapters – think James Patterson – meaning you often read for that little bit longer before turning out the bedroom light as you’re gripped by the action. Our hero is a swashbuckling James Bond meets John Wick, our heroine a Lily James-type gorgeous damsel in distress and the story romps along at 100-miles-an-hour.” Jeremy Ransome, Editor, Spalding Guardian, UK

A former Legionnaire had been working as a journalist in Paris. He met a mysterious American by chance when the latter sailed into a quiet fishing village nestled in a remote Andalusian bay. The sailor was ex-special forces and his background, part Jewish, Hispanic and Polish, had dictated his path in life. The yachtsman was also a former Legionnaire and he explained that he had been working in private security. Uncovering a secret – he told a story that at first seemed to be fictitious.
“Great story!” & “The author himself has had a very interesting life, which makes this book even more believable. He’s an excellent writer and tells a very interesting and descriptive story. It’s very Dan Brown and Tom Clancy-ish. …I think it’s fiction, but makes you wonder…” Darcey Spensley, Monticello Express, USA
However, the journalist began to question what he had been told. The violent deaths of an elderly Swiss gentleman and two of his gamekeepers in a lonely house in the English Shires served as the catalyst. The various strands of the frightening story began to come together. What followed was a life-and-death hunt for a secret that had its birth amid the destruction of Berlin in 1945. Will the love of a beautiful woman de-rail the events?

There were those within the Intelligence and Espionage agencies of the Middle East, Europe and the United States who struggled to come to terms with the enormity of the crisis. There were others within the corridors of political power who wished to prevent that secret from seeing the light of day. They will stop at nothing to reach that aim. When justice sleeps the devil comes out to play! Is it a story with no hero? A thriller with a premise so frightening that it must not be true!
The See Glass conspiracy novel was described as reminiscent, ‘…of “The Odessa File” & “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” ‘.
One former U.S. Navy man described the See Glass action & adventure novel as having a style which, ‘…is very “Tom Clancy”. Exciting storyline with real-world events as a backdrop. Another Clancy trademark you have is utilizing real-world existing/former agencies and military units.’
This thrillers recounting of a political and military conspiracy so great that it could, at best, topple the old order of the world powers has a deeply concerning resonance today. Is this adventure book fact or fiction? You must decide for yourself!
The conspiracy is widespread and adversaries are as motivated as Adam. Stalked by assassins and involved in a cat and mouse hunt for a secret hidden since the war the path is perilous and the discovery truly shocking.

See Glass is an espionage thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the early morning.

See Glass by Ido Graf is available as an e-book, paperback, large print, hardcover and an Audiobook.
