Awarded 'Book of the Day' and a glowing official 5-star review by the American OnlineBookClub.org - Cruise Ship Heist is from author Stuart St Paul, stuntman turned Multi-Award-Winning Screenwriter and Movie Director. Adept at drawing in his audience as a result of the multitude of story-telling tricks learnt during his time as a director, St Paul delivers a humorous, action-packed, and tension laden narrative that leaves readers on the edge of their seat, and impossible to second guess. (this is the novel, the Teleplay is also available at Amazon) With Commander Kieron Phillips very much looking forward to holidaying on the ocean waves and the chance to catch up with his daughter, a dancer onboard the cruise ship he's just embarked, Stuart St Paul sets the scene for his action-packed thriller, Cruise Ship Heist. Realising all too quickly that there was nothing coincidental about him being on board this specific voyage, Commander Phillips brings into play the full arsenal of his military background, in order to return the MV Lady Diana to holiday mode. The crime thriller that has movie adaptation or binge-watch TV series written all over it. Cruise Ship Heist will appeal to more than the 31 million + yearly cruise passengers in the 8-billion-dollar industry. Awarded 'Book of the Day' and a glowing official 5-star review by the American OnlineBookClub.org. Multi-award-winning screenwriter and director Stuart St Paul delivers a crime drama set at sea that feels frighteningly real. From the official 5* review - ... The plot of the story was complex and had much depth to it; it presented this giant riddle with many unpredictable facets. The story carried intrigue right from when Commander Kieron Philips was introduced at the airport. His character gave off waves of mystery and intrigue with the peculiar situation in which he found himself... Kieron was the tangy combination of the good cop and the bad cop. He was the guy you wanted in your corner when things got ugly because he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. His character stood out because of his keen eye for foul play, bravery, and kindness. More so, the author gave a lot of insight into Kieron's thoughts and the complicated mental process of solving the mystery that lived on the cruise ship. Another impressive character was Hunter Witowski, the cruise ship's head of security. He had a dry humour that belied his tough exterior. He was one character I didn't expect to like, but he became one of my favourites. It was fun to see the wordplay between the characters. Cruise Ship Heist was action-packed, suffused with danger, murder, and unpredictability. This was one of those stories that would stay with you for a while, as it delivered mystery and intrigue. The book was fun to read; there was no dull moment, and the entire experience was a rollercoaster ride. I enjoyed every part of Cruise Ship Heist. It was professionally edited, and I disliked nothing in it. Therefore, I'd rate it five out of five stars. Cruise Ship Heist would be appreciated by lovers of mystery and thrillers. Full review by Bibliophile onlinebookclub.org Stuart St Paul won Best Director in the USA, a Silver Palm in Mexico, was nominated for a Star & Screen in Mumbai, and his movie Scarlet Tunic was selected in Cannes for official selection at both Cabourg and Verona.

When retired Commander Kieron Philips finds a passenger sitting dead in his seat as everyone disembarks the plane, he calls the flight attendant and makes no fuss. He thinks nothing of it. He survived Ireland, Iraq and covert missions but now misses an unexpected bullet when a woman he spent just a few flirty moments with at baggage collection is arrested at customs in South America with millions of dollars. Within minutes he's sharing a taxi to a cruise ship with two other women and his life is about to change forever. Within hours they're at sea, and he's embroiled in a saga of which he has no knowledge. His cabin is searched by a stowaway gunman, who is intercepted and arrested by Senior Officer Hunter Witowski, head of security, who suspects Philips knows that there is more to all this. Philips starts to wonder if his being on this cruise, at this time, was an accident, or whether someone saw his military skills and put him in the right place at the right time. He can't trust anyone on the ship, and no crazy amount of money is worth either his life or the life of his show-dancer daughter whom he travelled this far to visit. Except she is not his daughter and she arranged the trip.

A Real Life Ocean's Eleven Story of a Texas family that robbed the mob owned Legendary Stardust Hotel Casino. Thief In The House is a story big screen action movies are made of. Hopper was 26 years old when his father persuaded him to participate in a daring daylight robbery of the Legendary Las Vegas Stardust Casino. It didn't take much to convinced him on 'Stealing Vegas', telling his boss off, and leaving to embark on a criminal enterprise with his father, brother and an accomplice. Beaumont Man Pleads in Stardust Casino Heist, reads the Beaumont Morning Newspaper, the robbery netted over $1 million dollars and the loot was stolen from inside the casino. The door to Jeffrey's room was a thin black cloth and black curtains kept the bright lights from shinning in the windows. He put, 'Wasted Time' by the Eagle's on the stereo and slid down between the speakers. " 'Wasted Time' is what my life was, nothing but a waste. I opened the chamber of the revolver and checked to be sure it was fully loaded. Yes, all six were there. I closed the chamber, spun it and put the barrel to my head; then in my mouth. The letter I wrote wasn't long but it should do the job," says Jeff, "After thirty years I still remember the taste of the metal pistol and the sound of the hammer fall." Thief In The House is the stuff movie goers love to see. "I did not write Thief In The House to glamorize crime but to share my journey from 'Heist to Healing' and the second chance I have been given to make things right." There is one thing that sets this compelling story apart from all the rest; one thing that is very different; it's all true. It is the life of hell Jeff lived, the road to recovery that he has made and how the road to healing has lead him back into those same prisons to help bring men out. The date April 6th, 1992, will forever be etched in Jeff's mind when he decided to 'Steal Vegas' and become Thief In The House.
