Romance

Nearly a decade ago, Ben Harvey was convicted of raping a high school classmate--a crime for which he has consistently maintained his innocence. After he's spent ten years in prison, DNA evidence conclusively proves that he is indeed innocent, his conviction is overturned, and he is released. But the dreams he once had for college and a career in law are now out of his reach, and the once well-liked, respectful young man has seemingly grown embittered. Meanwhile, shortly after his release, his accuser, Laura Shay, is found dead in her apartment--brutally and mysteriously murdered.

With the help of his friend Emily Charters, Jeremy begins to look into the decade-old rape charge that continues to cast its shadow over this case, for if he is to have any chance of solving Laura's murder, he must first uncover the long-buried truth of that long-ago night.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Belize, and in particular the history of the creation of Belize as an independent country. It provides specific details concerning the occupation, military conquests, and treaties that led to independence. Several historic battles are described, including the Ambush at Yalbach in 1794 and the Battle of St. George's Caye in 1798. The various treaties between Britain and Spain dealing with the settlement of Belize are covered extensively. While the general focus is on the history of the sovereignty of Belize, the book also highlights the historical events, treaties, and other relevant information that show conclusively that Guatemala does not have any legitimate claim to portions of present day Belize. It provides documentation supporting the validity of the current national borders.
