Product Description

Product Description

Jonathan David is a private investigator in St. Petersburg, living alone with his Ladybird books. He is offered $100,000 to investigate the kidnap of the city governor, but immediately suspects the person who has hired him – the governor’s wife. However, as the story unfolds he begins to realise that there’s considerably more to the case than he first thought...

As kidnapping follows kidnapping, and police corruption becomes obvious, Jonathan ends up drawn far further into events than he ever intended - along with his best friend, his ex-girlfriend, and a potential new flame.

Set during the White Nights, when the city barely gets dark, New Holland is a page-turning mystery with plenty to say about money, corruption and the bravery of ordinary people.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Read, 26 Aug 2011
This review is from: New Holland (The White Nights Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
Ingrigue, corporate corruption, espionage, kidnapping and a hint of romance are captured well by the author in New Holland.
A captivating plot full of visual descriptions add to the excitement and flavour of this action/mystery novel involving an English Investigator in Russia.

Hired to investigate the kidnapping of a Russian Govenor- Alexy Venogradov- Jonathan David finds himself hired by the wife of the victim. His fee is an extremely high one and his job--dangerous. Drawing on friends from the present and past for help, he is hounded by the Russian police and becomes convinced of an underlying motive for the kidnap. A man not afraid to share his emotions, Jonathan finds friendship with Laura a colleague of a friend. Soon she becomes involved with the investigation and highlights those he can and cannot trust.

An enjoyable read that kept the mystery going until The End.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saul Pope strikes again!, 19 Oct 2011

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: New Holland (The White Nights Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
If you thought Jonathan David's adventures in Russia ended when he finally met Olesya in Saul Pope's first novel, you were wrong. Even if you haven't read 'Russia, The Man and Jonathan David', Saul's latest novel will still be a fascinating read. Following the adventures of Jonathan David as he attempts to solve a mystery in Russia's cultural capital, St. Petersburg, is an absolute must. Being glued to your screen while you read how the plot thickens and twists with each chapter is guaranteed. Saul Pope has done it again - read his latest novel, you won't regret it! I wonder what Jonathan David will get up to next...

4.0 out of 5 stars St Petersburg thriller set to warm long winter nights, 14 Oct 2011
This review is from: New Holland (The White Nights Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
In 'New Holland' Pope has created an authentic world of oligarchs and assassins, bumbling detectives and corrupt police, that offers an analogy with the current situation in both Russia and in the UK.

New Holland is a meticulously researched book that evokes a real sense of place and time and clearly demonstrates a talent, in Pope's writing, for the well observed, sometimes humorous critique of the human condition and the motives that drive us to go to extreme lengths to survive.

Overall this book is a thrilling page turner, but also offers a vivid insight into a society that, for many of us, remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
