The E L I J A H Trilogy Book 2
Fall From Grace
When Elijah Hocking’s life is changed forever
by the brutal murder of his first wife, he
decides the only way ahead in the world is to
use and manipulate others, by force if
necessary.
Fall from Grace follows Elijah's relentless
climb to power as he returns to the United
States to live. With the help of his lawyer and
business partner Jorge and with his child-
hood mate Johnny as his minder, he sets
about building his empire. Along the way he
mixes with a diverse phalanx of characters
such as Joseph Kennedy, Franklin D Roosevelt, Cordell Hull and
Hermann Göring amongst others. While dealing with the Nazis in World
War Two he simultaneously assists Jewish refugees to escape from
Germany. He purchases looted art works, whilst carrying out espionage
on behalf of the Americans. Then in the fifties, he falls foul of Senator
McCarthy and Edgar Hoover and is forced to leave America in virtual
exile.
Twice widowed, it seems Elijah is incapable of forming lasting
relationships with the women in his life – the beautiful Agnota, the
manipulative Kyra, the sophisticated Sophia or Nancy who helped solve
the mystery of his parents.
And then there's his children...

Elijah’s Will
Having been forced to leave the United
States by Senator McCarthy and J Edgar
Hoover, Elijah retires to his beloved estancia
in the remote Argentine Pampas. From there
he plots his return to power, and his
retribution.
Entering the armaments trade, he supplies
both sides in the Six Day War along with
uranium to South Africa, becomes involved in
the Australian mining boom, and organises
for his employees to be rescued from the
Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. Vehemently
intolerant of drugs, when he discovers one of his closest confidantes has
become a supplier against his explicit instructions (and has supplied
drugs to one of his daughters), he views this as the ultimate betrayal
becoming increasingly distrustful and contemptuous of those around him.
A complex character as his many wives and children can attest to, Elijah
has not yet played his last hand. As the tension mounts, so too do the
rivalries and hatred as Elijah's children restlessly await his death and their
share of his wealth.
For them the waiting has already stretched far too long, as finally the day
dawns for the reading of Elijah’s Will.
