High Tide of Intrigue is both a racy thriller and a foray into the world of drugs, corruption, and the triumph of good sense and integrity over weakness and self-interest. The setting, Trinidad, and the theme of drugs draw attention to the position of the region as a staging post in the international drugs trade. Police officer Maureen Mason-Adams is unswerving in her commitment to the fight against drugs. When she discovers that fellow officers, including her husband, are in league with Trinidadian and Grenadian drug runners, the clean-up campaign becomes a personal crusade. At risk to her life, Maureen embarks on an island-hopping investigation of a multimillion-dollar trade conducted by some of the Caribbean's most dangerous men.

(The small Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago have b...)
The small Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago have been treated as a single political entity for less than one hundred years. A union of two separate colonies started by Great Britain and Spain, each island has a substantially different ethnic makeup reflecting distinct lines of development. Tobago was first claimed by the English in the 16th century. Overwhelmingly African, its few European influences are almost exclusively English and Protestant. Economically, it has been a plantation colony for most of its recorded history, but in recent years has included tourism as part of its economic structure. In contrast, Trinidad is an outstanding example of a racial and cultural kaleidoscope, with a considerably diversified economic base made up of agricultural, extractive, manufacturing, tourist, and financial industries. Annexed by the British 200 years ago, this one time Spanish colony was strongly influenced by French creole culture and has become further diversified by immigrants from British India, China, Italy, Lebanon, and the West Indies. Compiled by Michael Anthony, renowned Trinidadian writer, the Historical Dictionary of Trinidad and Tobago brings together in one volume complete and easy-to-find information on this small but fascinating Caribbean country. Its concise dictionary entries describe the important people, places, events, and institutions of the nation as well as its society, culture, and economy. The comprehensive bibliography provides scholars with an important resource for further information on the islands. Includes maps and a chronology.

Born in the county of Mayaro, Trinidad, on 10 February 1930, to Nathaniel Anthony and Eva Jones Lazarus, Michael Anthony was educated on the island at Mayaro Roman Catholic School and Junior Technical College in San Fernando.
He subsequently took a job as a laundry worker in Pointe-à-Pierre for five years but had ambitions to become a journalist. Later on, poems of his were published by the Trinidad Guardian in 1954. Yet it was not enough for him to secure a new job locally and Anthony decided to further his career in the United Kingdom.
Anthony"s voyage to the United Kingdom on board the Hildebrandt took place on December 1954.
In England he held several jobs, including as a sub-editor at Reuters news agency (1964-1968), while developing his career as a writer, writing short stories for the British Broadcasting Corporation radio programme Caribbean Voices. Four years later, Anthony published his first book, The Games Were Coming, a cycling story inspired by real events.
He followed up its success with The Year in San Fernando and Green Days by the River. He eventually returned to Trinidad in 1970, after spending two years as part of the Trinidadian diplomatic corps in Brazil, where his novel King of the Masquerade is set, and he worked variously as an editor, a researcher for the Ministry of Culture, and as a radio broadcaster of historical programmes.
In 1992, he spent time at the University of Richmond in Virginia, teaching creative writing.
In his five-decade career, Anthony has had over 30 titles published, including novels, collections of short fiction, books for younger readers, travelogues and histories. He has also been a contributor to many anthologies and journals, including Caribbean Prose, Island Voices, Stories from the Caribbean, Response, The Sun"s Eyes, West Indian Narrative, The Bajan, and BIM magazine.
