The Politician's Wife
About the Book
Dripping with today’s divisive social and political animosities. The dismembered corpse of a woman is found outside London. Days later and with no apparent connection, private investigator Tammy Pierre is called upon by her former Police Chief Inspector to investigate the politically sensitive disappearance of the wife of billionaire politician, Oscar Mountford, who's in line to become Britain's new Chancellor of the Exchequer. We learn early on that he's a far-right extremist involved in a plot to take over the UK government and coordinate with like-minded extremists in the US and European governments. Although pregnant, Tammy follows leads that take her inside Mountford's family and across the Atlantic as bodies begin to pile up. Can she make the connections to unravel the conspiracy and avoid becoming the next victim? “Andrew Segal's The Politician's Wife is a masterclass in weaving intrigue, emotion, and raw human experience.

About the Author
Andrew Segal
Life’s cliff-hangers are the very essence of crime thriller novels, providing an extensive knowledge of countless global corporate enterprises, all jostling for power. This has provided Andrew Segal with unparalleled material for the tales emerging from this author’s pen. And so with first-hand experiences to exploit, each story has become an accurate portrayal of real events. In that respect, Andrew has in the past been challenged by some fairly unpleasant characters, found himself unwittingly driving a contract killer, once employed by the notorious Kray twins, who’d thumbed a lift and on another occasion promised to be the subject of a gun attack. There was the event where a petrol station under Andrew’s supervision faced being torched with catastrophic results for a major UK city. It required, 2 weeks, 100 lorries and all of Andrew’s ingenuity to organise the removal of highly flammable tyres dumped illegally on the site so that vacant possession could be granted the sole potential purchaser. Some material culled here for Andrew’s first thriller. In another intriguing event overseen by Andrew, a company director, the subject of a meeting of creditors, was required to be in attendance on the day, albeit by telephone, but feeling considerable safer from his jail cell. Added to everything else, there have been innumerable instances when commercial choices faced by Andrew have involved significant financial risk. In one situation the sums ran into millions of pounds. Notwithstanding the hazards of a professional life, Andrew enjoys exploring some of the darker aspects of human nature in his nightmare short stories.
