Forgetting the Dreamtime

Sixteen-year-old Kristen has had quite enough of following her evangelical parents’ copious rules. But although up to her neck in both disobedience and discipline, she, nevertheless, suddenly finds herself at the heart of a mystery more profound than anything her willful imagination could have conjured. A challenge so deep that it will affect not only her own fate, but that of the species itself. And, ironically, it will require all of the power of her remaining faith in attempting to overcome it.

A coming-of-age story in the widest and most important sense, Loewen’s characters will, at first, dismay and then inspire as we follow his plucky and precocious heroine and her intellectual beau straight into the abyss of life’s meaning in our own time.

Fire in the Hole

Tattoo, fascinated by the hole being dug under his scrotum. Became worried. Fear grips him. He looks into the steel grey eyes of Kisten and could not read him. "What are you digging the hole for?" in a drawl Kisten spoke. "I asked you a question, mister. You refused to answer. You said that I cannot make you talk. I say I can make you sing. What I am going to do to you now has never been done by anybody else. Never been in the newspapers and never in the books I have read. This is torture in the first degree. Invented by me." Kisten sets light to the tinder. Sees the blue flames. "You will never be a whole man again."

Exploitation

Exploitation is an unceasingly fast-paced, action-packed, graphic, and red-hot account of one man’s battle to cauterise the human trafficking money flow from infectious criminal organisations as they tirelessly replicate and engage in barbarous internecine warfare.

It is narrated by the controversial, yet – mostly – justified, protagonist, who solely gets his hands bloodied – sometimes regrettably – as an assassin for a Russian crime family in order to gather intelligence on their human trafficking operations.

Round after round of being bludgeoned, hunted, manipulated, and lied to takes its toll on the narrator. This forces him to grow increasingly reliant on his knowledge, wit, and resourcefulness, as well as his own professional network.

If you commit a crime, he will be understanding. If you have any involvement in human trafficking, he will be ruthless.

Dezzie and the Historian

Devil's Tumble

MY COUSIN BEFORE THE STRANGER. MY BROTHER BEFORE MY COUSIN…

The Scud missile did not bring the dreaded sarin gas but it did point the way to the first dead body. The first in a trail of blood that would lead Kuwaiti homicide detective Riad al Ajmi from the world of the rich to the slums of the underworld as a war rages on the horizon and old wounds are opened once more. Kuwait City, March 2003. The Iraq War—the city swarming with American troops as refugees start streaming in, bringing with them tales of horror. Some going all the way back to the earlier rape of the city and uncovering old secrets—terrible secrets—that some would do anything to keep hidden.

Even murder.

Then there’s the ritualistic slaughter of a young nurse at Kuwait’s Armed Forces Hospital, the killer dressed in the Class A uniform of a ranking American officer—shades of a serial killer previously encountered in Seoul.

Enter CWO Sally Kendrick and WO Troy DuBois, American Military Police CID, flown in to find this killer before it threatens to spill into the realm of civilian Kuwait, straining the uneasy relationship between host city and foreign troops.

A second murder on the military compound raises the possibility of Kuwaiti involvement and soon the duo find themselves working with a reluctant Riad, who prefers to do things his way, which is not quite the army’s way. As the body count mounts, the scene is complicated by the unexpected arrival of Riad’s uncle, the scion of a well-known Lebanese crime family. What is he doing there? How did he even manage to get into a city in total lockdown? Could he be linked to what was happening on that hospital compound and on the streets of the city?

Still struggling to deal with the violent death of his wife at the hands of a jihadist, leaving him the sole carer for a young daughter, Riad finds himself drawn into the circles of the city’s rich and the arms of a sultry seductress, whose motives might just hold the key to the biggest secret of all.

As the hunter becomes the hunted, this fast-moving thriller builds to a shattering climax, where Riad faces the fine line between the law and that most elusive entity of all—justice.
