It's action from the beginning. What begins as a rather mundane assignment, Brad Pratt is summoned to the White House. The president tells him that the world's most valuable pink diamond has been stolen in Australia. The Batt Team must recover the diamond at all costs to save the reputation of Australia and its relationship to the indigenous people the Aborigines.
What starts as a straightforward case, quickly becomes complex with the kidnapping of the diamond polisher and his family. The trail leads the Batt Team on an international hunt that involves a Bulgarian count, a German count, both the German and Hungarian underworld and the Russian mafia. Once again Brad has to recruit the Navy SEALS to storm a heavily armed villa in Bulgaria. If they are successful and recover the pink diamond, the team must assault a fortified residence very near where Hitler had his secret lair in Bavaria. The 'why' is for the reader to find out.
I'm presenting the first three chapters for free. The final novel will be completed this fall of 2013.
