Video Trailer: Prisoners of the Williwaw

Prisoners of the WilliwawFrank Villa has everything he asked for. He wrote a book proposing that the government give him and other convicts an abandoned island in the Aleutians. Let their families accompany them, with no more welfare checks, and no more three squares and a cot. They’re on their own. The government saves millions and Frank gets his freedom, except for the Coast Guard keeping them all on the island.

The native Aleuts know the Aleutians better. A fierce wind, called a Williwaw, roams the islands, tearing down the works of man. Now Williwaw is trying to drive Frank off the island with rain and snow eighty-five percent of the time. And this god gets a lot of help from Boss Gilmore, another convict, who’s eager to pocket whatever money the men have. Gilmore opens a bar and a house of prostitution, he sells drugs and weapons.

Convicts hate cops, but that’s exactly what Frank needs – a cop, law and order. If he fails, it’s back to prison for the rest of his life.

Tipped off about a high-profile assassination days before Princess Diana’s death, British journalist Jon King sets out to uncover the truth about the Paris car crash, and finds himself at the centre of a deadly conspiracy. Can he expose its sinister web? Based on a true story.

Excerpt:

“You were in Paris, James―”

“Yes, but…”

“―In the tunnel. We wouldn’t want those kind of photographs falling into the wrong hands.”

Feverishly Andanson stubbed out his unfinished cigar and leaned forward across the table. His voice became an urgent whisper. “Do I look crazy? Do you think I would keep photographs of MI6 agents on the ground, outside the Ritz, inside the tunnel?”

“Why not? Tabloid editors would give their rectal virginity for photographs like that. Worth a lot of money.”

“But I already have a lot of money, Monsieur Mason. Thanks to you I have a very good life.”

“Yes.”

As though deliberating Andanson’s fate Mason sat back in his seat and swilled his Cognac and Club Soda in its glass one more time. Then downed the liquid in one.

“Long life, James,” he said, replacing the empty glass on the table between them. “Long life.”

Excerpt:

The sound of the water roared in his ears. It slapped against the wall behind him, surged over the radio board. It soaked the bottom edges of his life vest. He pushed against the radio panel, pounded on it with the heel of his hand, threw his good shoulder into it. The water swirled around his chest and splashed up on his chin. He clawed at the panel in a mindless, glazed panic. He no longer seemed to have a body. The water circled around his neck, splashed in his eyes. Breathing through his mouth in a frenzied, panting way, he gulped in some water.

It tasted like blood.

He screamed.
