Noel Coward's 'Private Lives', Dame Jocelyn Mahone disappears the
same day her co-star and husband of thirty-one years, Sir Alistair
Vickers, surprises her and the world, by announcing he is retiring.
Following a fortnight of inaction on the part of Scotland Yard,
which feels it is a publicity stunt to boost ticket sales, Estelle
Vickers, Dame Jocelyn and Sir Alistair's daughter calls the dear
friend, Faison Quay, in Toronto, Canada, and asks for his
assistance in locating her Mother. Rather than merely having his
famous Key Security International's London Agent take on the case,
Faison, immediately flies to London on his private plane, along
with his husband, Stark Redfearne, son, Faison Quay VII,
affectionately known as Veetwo, Regine Ouellette, Chief Operations
Officer of Key Security International and former Commissioner of
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Faison's Personal Assistant,

solve the mystery of Dame Jocelyn's disappearance, as well as two
subsequent murders, before the Final Curtain Call.

of two young women, Tilly, from Lancashire in central England, and
Nuella, from Northern Ireland, who, having fled their regional
upbringing, strive to succeed beyond their humble origins. Meeting
just prior to World War II, in a London boarding house, both are
resilient beyond their years and incredibly determined to create
better lives for themselves and for those they come to love. Their
innate decency continually plays them beneficial hands; from
landing a job at the top secret wartime instillation of Bletchley
Park to a post-war life, as war brides, in the burgeoning City of
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Long after the novel ends, you will
remember the epic friendship and journey of Tilly and Nuella.
Several months after Pawel Piotrowicz, photographer extraordinaire

abandoned in a parking lot, by off-duty police, for having
interrupted a Friday night drug-filled orgy, at Dr. Marshall
Bendorff's Old Post Road mansion, and threatening to kill him for
having performed cosmetic surgery on the perfect face of his client

Following the inaugural party of the supposedly impenetrable estate

his wife, Felicia, eight friends and family are abducted as they
leave the estate. With no clues, and, seemingly, no reason behind
the kidnappings, Faison mobilises his massive financial resources
and staff. When a number of employees of eponymous Key Construction
are discovered murdered, Faison desperately attempts to determine
if the deaths are connected to the abductions. Eventually, Veetwo
and Felicia, plus their entire staff, are forced to abandon their
estate, which leads to the impossible occurring; in spite of
totally being sealed to the outside world, the security of their
home is compromised. Faison races against all odds to unravel who
is behind the crimes and what is motivating them, before the
hostages are killed.
Are your personal affairs a big mystery? Of course you don't
confide that information to just anyone, but surely your husband,
wife, child or your lawyer/solicitor/attorney should be aware of
where you keep your insurance, home and other personal papers.
Okay, so you've made a will, signed a Power of Attorney and perhaps
prepaid your funeral - but have you told anyone? Does anyone know
where you bank, where your investments are, your insurance
policies, sources of income as well as your debts and other
liabilities? 'Be Prepared' - the motto of Boy and Girl Scouts and
Girl Guides, has stood the test of time and should be a guiding
light for everyone. Unfortunately, most of us procrastinate doing
anything remotely having to do with becoming incapacitated
(physically or mentally) or no longer capable of caring for
ourselves or personal affairs. More sobering, what happens to those
dependent upon us, or those we leave behind when we die? Obviously,
no one likes to talk, or even think, about death. But it doesn't do
any good to pretend it won't happen - because it will And when it
does, will loved ones, significant others, relatives or friends
know what to do? In the spirit of 'Be(ing) Prepared' is the reason

an estate or distribute items that may, or may not, be in a formal
will. That's when this specially designed, comprehensive and
inexpensive estate planning tool comes to the rescue
