Here is a synopsis of No Trust Among Thieves. As always, the first several pages have been made available for preview at your favorite eBook retailer.
No Trust Among
Thieves is the prequel for the Jack Diamond, PI, Mystery Adventure Series.
Jack
immediately finds himself in the uncomfortable position of being followed while
driving back to his Las Vegas Office from an assignment. More annoyed than
concerned he finally comes into contact with his would be pursuer only to find
the whole incident was not in actuality an incident at all. Except for one very
important aspect; it leads to a complex case of international intrigue with
potential Homeland Security consequences.
It all
begins as a seemingly straightforward request by an unlikely client to help
recover what he believes may be an inheritance gone missing. In addition to
Homeland Security, the Las Vegas Metro Police, an Idaho District Attorney, as
well as operatives and informants in Singapore and Malaysia and border crossing
officers in British Columbia and the United States get involved.
Most of
the principal characters readers met in the first Jack Diamond Mystery
Adventure eBook, CAUTION: Tram Approaching, are introduced in No Trust
Among Thieves. These include Jack’s long time friend and confidant, Lieutenant
Hank Mathis. Then there is Jack’s own version of a femme fatale, Melissa
Blanchard. Melissa, some twenty plus years his junior presents Jack with an
ever-present emotional dilemma. In short order Melissa develops a strong professional
and an intriguing personal relationship with the private detective. To go any
further with that aspect of the story would be telling way too much. Besides,
it’s a lot more interesting and fun to discover for yourself in the book.
What
about the original perpetrator at the center of the case? It turns out he seems
to have made a career playing the role of an up-standing member of the
community while betraying the trust of those who trusted him the most. His
misdeeds come to an abrupt end as he, naively unaware that anyone is the wiser,
is suddenly interrupted as he attempts to get some rest in a motel room in the
middle of Nevada.
At the
end of the day, a perplexed but persevering Jack Diamond still can’t be certain
of success in recovering the alleged missing inheritance. The network of
pilfering money manipulators who became involved through various nefarious
means are found out as one by one they discover that there is no trust among
thieves and ill gotten riches driven by blind greed seldom have a pleasant
ending.
