A short while ago I announced that after five years work, my 6th novel, 'Apsaras III, The Ranch' was finished subject to editing. It is a story about a retired but wealthy banker meeting twin Thai girls and setting up a refuge for disadvantaged women in southern Thailand. In this, the third story in the series, Jack Benson, the banker, finds a private members club, 'The Ranch', operating nearby using trafficked women and youngsters. 'The Ranch', he learns, is patronised by the rich and famous members of a worldwide network, looking for the ultimate sexual gratification, taking advantage of exploited and vulnerable women and children. Jack and the twins determine to close 'The Ranch' and expose those responsible for the villains they are.
Today, the news of Prince Andrews friendship with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, has, understandably, caused shocks throughout the world. It seems that Epstein had set up a centre for hedonistic pleasures in a Mexican property he called, 'The Ranch'. How strange! especially as much of what went on in Mexico, the depravity and evil, mirrors exactly the fictional story portrayed in my novel.
I have no agent but if readers of this article knows of anyone interested to read the story (127,000 words) with a view to publishing I would be pleased to hear from them.
With thanks to the Daily mail for the photo of the Mexican property.
