Newly-arrived from Ghana with his mother and older sister Lydia, Harri absorbs the many strange elements of city life, from the bewildering array of Haribo sweets, to the frightening, fascinating gang of older boys from his school. But his life is changed forever when one of his friends is murdered.

During the Second World War, the British Royal Air Force's Special Duties Squadrons parachuted thousands of pigeons into Belgium. Bletchley Park, the nerve centre of the British Intelligence Service, had its own pigeon loft from where birds were sent on intelligence gathering missions. A secret organisation, MI14(d), was created to organise a pigeon service to occupied Europe. Those who found the pigeons were expected to supply military, economic and political intelligence for the Allies. This book includes the messages sent back from Belgium. In particular, it investigates the roles played by Josef Raskin and Jean Ceysens, the British Intelligence Services, the RAF and the brave individuals who, despite the possibility of imprisonment, sent messages to Britain in the hope it would help liberate their country.

The Tenth Pigeon is an adult psychological crime story. The pigeons in this novel are not our feathered friends who leave their white deposits everywhere. The pigeons in this novel are human beings marked for exploitation. Some are gullible, some are stupid, some are too clever. They all have one thing in common: they seek sex with a beautiful stranger. And they all end up paying a price. The story is fiction; however, there are important parts of this novel that are based on well-established facts. The sex games that ordinary people play in the privacy of their bedrooms may seem outlandish to many; however, millions of people participate in these activities. Providing the necessary costumes and accessories for these sex games has become a multimillion industry. And that is not fiction. The book contains profanity and graphic descriptions that may offend many people. The use of foul language is not gratuitous. The story of The Tenth Pigeon could not be told honestly without it. This story exposes the many frailties of the male Homo sapiens, including his propensity to prevaricate and philander, and how a pretty young woman was able to exploit these foibles and become a wealthy criminal.
