When Kingmakers Speak Nathan Veerasamy

"When Kingmakers Speak is a well- written thriller that builds gripping suspense, yet reveals enough to keep us deeply engaged and anxious to know what is going to happen next." - Edwin Thumboo, Professor Emeritus, National University of SingaporeIt's 1961 in Singapore- a nation on the verge of independence. Someone has slipped into Changi Air Base during a party with one goal in mind- revenge. Suddenly the lights go out and an hour later, two dead bodies are found. Someone has committed murder in the shadow of the night and no one knows why. The investigation takes an unexpected turn when the duty officer, Captain Jenkins, is suspected. Meanwhile, MI5, the communists, the triads and a lone ninja, hiding in the jungle, are embroiled in a plot known only as Beethoven 96. Each party seeks its own resolution, but none are aware that they are being manipulated by a greater secret organization, the Kingmakers. Only the tenacity and prowess of Captain Jenkins and Inspector Prem can avert one of the biggest disasters in Singapore's history.
