As an MP, Douglas Hurd would write a new short story every year during the summer Parliamentary recess. This collection comprises ten tales, including a moving account of a family in Bosnia (The Last Day of Summer), a caper about drugrunning off Florida (A Suitcase Between Friends), and a grimly realistic Ulster vignette (Fog of Peace). Each of these stories reflects the intelligent concerns of a politician engaged in, and committed to, both the everyday world of domestic matters and at the highest level.

On June 23, 2010, in a small Georgia town named Halima, an intoxicated white male, who was either an incurable wise-ass or the most hate-fueled racist in America, was arrested for being a public menace. Th e resistant suspect was immediately transported to the Sheriffs station. He presented himself as Mr. Wayne Rosseland and immediately began raising hell. He reminded the facility of the Southern Confederate history of slavery, insurgency and white supremacy. He reduced the violently depressing slave experience to an anecdote and reiterated the hopelessness of the African- American plight in modern America, of which in his opinion one n***** who would inevitably die prior to fi nishing his first term would ultimately make worse. His antics discombobulated the small staff as well as the residing inmates so thoroughly that he left them no choice but to place him in isolation alongside convicted murderer Gregory Brady. Rosseland predicted President Obamas inevitable assassination. What one man accomplished with pure hatred, wit, humor and racial epithets would lead to a legacy so riveting that there is no doubt fifty years from now folks will still be talking in Halima about the events surrounding the arrest of Wayne Rosseland. He is so revered that even a conservatives best bet would ring in millions, based on the betting line being that he was mere mortal. In fact, many will bet their lifes work that Wayne Rosseland was the devil himself.
