The Queen and Mr Dukes
(2017)(A book in the Our Man in Mazita series)
An omnibus of novels by Katie Penryn
Problem after problem rains down on poor Bob Dukes'
head.
Bewildered, out of his depth, a confirmed introvert, he's at his
wit's end working for the British Crown in the tropical paradise
of Mazita in the late fifties. New single father of Poppy, Suze
and Charlie and overwhelmed by official responsibilities, how is
he to solve the problems the Governor keeps throwing his way?
Bob's torn in two by his official duties on the one hand and his
children's wishes on the other.
Responsible for enhancing the love life of the wife of the
President of neighboring, Opunto, rescuing a giant green turtle
from the pot, hunting down the savage beast which is terrorizing
the island's dogs and tracking down the Mafia, he turns to the
only person who could help him - the Queen, his ultimate
employer.
How does he meet her? Will she show him how to sidetrack the
officialdom of the Colonial Office and find solutions?
Read these charming stories of alternative history and find out.
Tongue in cheek and featuring three adventurous children, they'll
tickle your fancy and have you booking your next holiday on the
Kenyan coast.
