Shrewd Little Sleuth reads like Forrest Gump meets L.A. Confidential, a real-life descent into espionage, power, and moral reckoning that spans from Pearl Harbor to Hollywood’s smoky backrooms. It’s a deeply personal investigation into truth, legacy, and the roots of modern authoritarianism.

Scott A. Leckie is an international human rights lawyer and Director and Founder of Displacement Solutions (www.displacementsolutions.org), a global not-for-profit NGO dedicated to resolving displacement generated by global warming and climate change.

He also founded and directs Oneness World Foundation (www.onenessworld.org), a research think tank exploring questions of world-centric political evolution and new forms of global governance and world citizenship. He manages the One House, One Family (OHOF) initiative, a project in Bangladesh that funds and builds permanent and free homes for climate displaced families. To date, OHOF has built 18 homes to some of Bangladesh’s most vulnerable families.

Looking Out and Beyond set in the early 1950s during the dark Apartheid era, in a small rural town in South Africa, with flashbacks to the battle fields of the Second World War in North Africa. Two girls constantly encounter each other on the farm: Ada, is the only daughter of the farm owner, Jonah Courtnay and his war time bride Johelia. Nicky is a young girl of mixed descent, and daughter of the help on the farm. The harshness of those times, tests this relationship further, when the homestead is raided by the brutal, vengeful policeman, Koos.
