Raking The Sands by William Paley

A highly intelligent, mature family man is blackmailed by a petty crook seeking access to secret information in The Department, a government institute for combatting international crime, but he deflects attention onto a younger colleague. A famous film actress attempts to combat the blackmailer’s remorseless persecution of his sister whom he has recruited in order to distract the younger man from his involvement in drug and counterfeit shipments. Romance intrudes but the head of The Department puts business before devotion thereby leading to personal disaster.

David William Paley was born in Sandhurst and, until retirement, held several financial control positions in international companies. He lived in Germany for four years but now lives with his French wife in Buckinghamshire and speaks both French and German in addition to his native English.

 

Raking the Sands is his fourth novel in a series that dismisses the obsession with the double and triple murders that seem regularly to feature in the current unhealthy mode of entertainment. He prefers the subject of life and love rather than death and its morbidity.

 

As David Paley, he has published four Kindle books of poetry, including anthologies of French and German poems in ‘101 French Poems’ and ‘150 German Poems’ containing poems in their original texts each followed by his translation into English. The second edition of ‘Visions and Illusions’ appears in both print and Kindle editions and contains ninety poems.

 

He has created a web site, www.poemswithoutfrontiers.com that displays several hundred English, French and German poems in their original texts each with translations into the other two languages.
