When the vivacious Debbie Chater,a colleague of Paul's,is found dead,floating in the Thames,his life is turned upside-down.Paul's search for an explanation becomes a crusade as he uncovers a web of deception,fraud and murder. Everywhere he looks he finds more questions: What is "Uncle Sam's Money Machine"? What is the connection between Irwin Piper,an American entrepreneur with much to hide,and an aristocratic English lawyer? Where does Cash Callaghan, the honesty-free bond salesman fit in? And why is Cash's assistant,Cathy Lasenby, once so stand-offish,now so keen to help?

Ltd, 2015, Senator John McCain entered the Naval Academy in June of 1954. He served in the United States Navy until 1981. He was elected to the US House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982 and to the Senate in 1986. He was the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 2008 election. He is the author of Faith of My Fathers, Worth Fighting For, Why Courage Matters, Character Is Destiny, Thirteen Soldiers, and The Restless Wave."Senator Lindsey Graham once described his friend John McCain as someone who would 'run across the street to get in a good fight.' McCain's final battle came straight to him. I'm not talking about the one against brain cancerI'm talking about the one against Donald Trump. He wages it in a forthcoming book, "The Restless Wave"...McCain has always believed, to his core, in sacrifice, honor and allegiance to something larger than oneselfSuch grace is unimaginable from Trump. That's why it's so vital that McCain is using his waning time to model it."Frank Bruni, The New York Times"Written in McCain's plain-spoken, occasionally brusque manner, the senator and Vietnam war veteranoffers a wide-ranging appraisal of his own career, one marked by unrealized presidential ambitions and a lofty view of America on the international stage." The Guardian"In what may be his final public act, John McCain this month will publish a book that bequeaths us a rare gift....the volume does not burden us with a lot of high-minded advice based on lessons learned, nor does it pull us down into treacly memoir. McCain is still very much McCain....What he does offer, though, at this peculiar moment of our history, is far more precious: a reminder of the values and principles that our nation has long stood for, and a spur to us to recover from this unhealthy interlude and stand for them again. Without preaching, instead by recounting stories of battles won and (often) lost, McCain unspools something akin to a self-help manual for a country that has, at least for the moment, lost its way."The Washington Post"It should be required reading for anyone who wants to lead in a democracy."Senator Lindsey Graham, The New York Times"The Restless Wave is a fitting valedictory for a man who seldom backed down."The Guardian, US"Remarkable....a book-length meditation on what it means to face the hard challenges of long life and the sobering likelihood of imminent death. John McCain's valedictory message, at the booksellers under the title The Restless Wave, is a 400-page reflection on hardship, a homily on purpose, a celebration of life and a challenge to Americans to live up to their values and founding principles at a time when both are in jeopardy."The Boston Globe"Focused on his past 20 years of public life and a few major topics, it's McCain on McCain, even more uncensored than usual. Which makes it fun, no matter your politics....The book is at its best when he speaks plainly from the heart about subjects he cares deeply about." New York Daily NewsRead moreIn this candid new political memoir from Senator John McCain, an American hero reflects on his lifeand what matters most."I don't know how much longer I'll be here. Maybe I'll have another five years. Maybe, with the advances in oncology, they'll find new treatments for my cancer that will extend my life. Maybe I'll be gone before you read this. My predicament is, well, rather unpredictable. But I'm prepared for either contingency, or at least I'm getting prepared. I have some things I'd like to take care of first, some work that needs finishing, and some people I need to see. And I want to talk to my fellow Americans a little more if I may."So writes John McCain in this inspiring, moving, frank, and deeply personal memoir. Written while confronting a mortal illness, McCain looks back with appreciation on his years in the Senate, his historic 2008 campaign for the presidency against Barack Obama, and his crusades on behalf of democracy and human rights in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.Always the fighter, McCain attacks the "spurious nationalism" and political polarization afflicting American policy. He makes an impassioned case for democratic internationalism and bi-partisanship. He tells stories of his most satisfying moments of public service, including his work with another giant of the Senate, Edward M. Kennedy. Senator McCain recalls his disagreements with several presidents, and minces no words in his objections to some of President Trump's statements and policies. At the same time, he offers a positive vision of America that looks beyond the Trump presidency.The Restless Wave is John McCain at his best., Simon & Schuster, New York, NY: William Morrow & Co., 1989.
