Böcker av Alvin Savage

Jamaica has the dubious reputation of producing some of the most cunning people anywhere. Immorality however may be quite another matter. A not too recent research study showed that the Jamaican with the highest IQ was on death row. For many years the Jamaican economy has been stymied by a crime wave that simply refuses to go away. It is generally accepted that crime is the biggest deterrent to economic development in Jamaica. When seven year-old Dennis Pearce solved high school mathematical problems the future for him should have been quite predictable...An upper class home, an educational system steeped in tradition and excellence facing a society inundated with criminal gangs operating at the highest levels along with inept and corrupt policing. Will genius give way to practical reality, or is it morality?

Green Gold...A good read for all ages...An innocent trip into the woods to shoot birds, led two boys to a nightmarish encounter with a drug raid that almost took their lives and unwittingly placed them straight into the arms of a police officer who saw no conflict between his ambition to run the largest drug cartel in Jamaica, and his aspiration to become the top man in the police force. Unaware of the danger Calvin succumbed to his overtures despite attempts by Alfred to dissuade him, with no success, leaving little hope that he could be rescued.

Corporal Bailey, privy to high level meetings planned to apprehend drug operators, progressed in his goal to dominate the drug trade. In time his operations became bolder and more sophisticated making it much more difficult to implicate him. In a last ditch effort to find the perpetrator Ken Geddes appealed to the superintendent, who insisted on hard evidence. However it was the foolhardy manner in which Baily treated Calvin that led to the first real break. With help from an undercover agent, Piggy, Geddes began the final plan to terminate the operations of Corporal Bailey. Even so it took considerable resources, a bit of luck and an elaborate plan, which had to be concealed even from the Superintendent himself, to save the boys and bring about a desired end.
