From there Smith picks up the lead in Las Vegas and follows it to Whidbey Island where he soon learns he is no longer the hunter. He has become the prey!
Follow Clint Smith trails as he pursues a modern day League of Assassins through Europe and the American West!

You don’t want to miss out on this treasure!
By Jeff Lovell
In 1715, a ship’s carpenter tried to rape the 14 year old daughter of the captain of a British warship and was flogged almost to death. He mutinied and captured the ship, killing the captain and forcing his daughter into marriage. After falling in with Blackbeard, he abandoned his young wife on a cold, bitter rock called White Island, off the coast of New Hampshire. When he was caught and hanged by the British Navy, his treasure vanished into history. Many people believe that Martha, his reluctant wife, hid the treasure in the Isle of Shoals chain. This is the story of a search for those gold and jewels and treasure, protected by the Ghost of White Island.
According to the legends, a fabulous treasure lies hidden somewhere in the Islands. Mickey Logan, however, is seeking a greater treasure: the redemption of the soul of his great grandmother.
NEW ADVENTURE FOR JONNY PLUMB
By Kim Wheeler
This, perhaps the final adventure for Jonny Plumb finds himself in all kinds of trouble when he is firstly accused of giving a footballer a bad case of Floppy Leg. Who then had to be carried into his home on a stretcher. When his wife saw him she fainted and squashed the cat, the cat ran away and hit a paraffin lamp. The paraffin lamp fell over onto the curtains, and the curtains caught fire and then set the house alight. The fire brigade was called and put out the fire but everything they owned was ruined, plus, the cat won’t come home, because the house got burnt down by paraffin lamp, that it knocked over after it was squashed by its owner who fainted after seeing her husband being carried into her home, on a stretcher and all because Jonny gave the guy, who was just playing football, a floppy leg. Jonny then gets banned for a few matches but his new replacement is more than good enough, except, she is a girl and apparently, girls are not allowed to play football.
This is the sixth book and quite possibly the last in the six set series of Jonny Plumb Adventures which has seen Jonny Plumb go on the kind of adventures children can dream about...

Fan Review for Mousegate Adventure, ‘Gina and Colby’
By Jeff and Jacqi Lovell
"I thoroughly enjoyed your book, 'Gina and Colby'. It was interesting to see how Colby and Gina's character development throughout the story. Also, it was a nice surprise to see Jazz and Ella make an appearance in the book. The topic of the book, endangered species being poached, I thought provoking. After all, animals have rights, too. Overall, 'Gina and Colby' I a an amazing and interesting book. I enjoyed it even more than 'Jazz and Ella', and I like that a lot."
