About this title

Review:

A SURPRISE ENDING
The Prime Minister's Daughter is an exciting tale with unexpected twists, picturesque landscapes and a gripping plot.....a Caribbean experience of tradition and history, introducing exotic women, vicious rogues, political trickery with a bit of Calypso. The more I read, the more vivid the story became. Within the first two hours, I was hooked. Couldn't stop reading. I loved all the characters, even the nasty ones! BDaniel, Amazon Reviewer

Manchee is a master at setting a mood, laying the atmosphere, and pulling you into the lives of these truly believable and sometimes quirky characters. He combines politics at its worst and a tender love story between Kevin and Deviane Shah, the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Brandice J. O'Brien, MyShelf.Com

In the fall of 1999, fiction author William Manchee visited the island nation of Trinidad-Tobago for the first time, to watch his son play in a professional golf tournament. While in the small Third World country, he was fascinated by everything that caught his eyes. After gathering as much information as he could, Manchee knew he had to somehow incorporated the trip into a novel.

And he did. Manchee's sixth book where he uses the island nation as a backdrop. Entangling the lives of Plano high school student Kevin Wells and Trinidad's Prime Minister Ahmad Shah, the story is filled with thrills, action, adventure and romance.

As the plot developed, he reflected on school shootings and put a twist on the concept of kids killing others. Instead, he thought, what if a high school student has the opportunity to save someone's life and who's going to react that quickly to stop an assassination?—The Monitor

"Filled with vigorous, well developed characters, vibrant dialogue and as much hair raising action as the reader can handle; TROUBLE IN TRINIDAD is a gripping novel readers will find hard to put down." Molly Martin, Epinions

From the Inside Flap:

A high school student, Kevin Wells, while waiting for his mother to come out of surgery at Medical City Hospital in Dallas, Texas meets the daughter of the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Kiran Shah, whose father is also in surgery. The two teenagers hit it off and spend time together. Later when Kevin is going to his mother's room he sees a suspicious man entering the room where he's been told the Prime Minister is recuperating. Concerned, he enters the room to challenge the intruder and ends up getting shot. Kevin nearly dies but manages to thwart the assassin. By the time Kevin regains consciousness ten days later, he has become a national hero and his life has changed forever. Much to his shock and delight, Kevin is later summoned to Trinidad-Tobago by the Prime Minister to testify against his alleged assassin. Kevin is delighted about the summons since this will allow him to see Kiran again whom he now believes to be his soul mate. What Kevin doesn't know is that the Prime Minister's enemies plan to kill him before he can testify
