Author Description

Who wants jockey journalist Deric Tasman dead? His drug-addicted mother, eager to inherit millions he's been left in trust; those who have been using his account to launder money: the CIA because of his links to Dallas, 1963; British intelligence to retain the cover-up; South African right-wingers and diamond smugglers wanting funds to undermine the new non-racial regime; communists trying to break De Beers' stranglehold on the diamond market to raise funds to support Castro and international insurgency; gangsters from Chicago; or is it an ancient megalomaniac with a zest for power and a taste for terrorism? This is high adventure in Britain, South Africa and Ireland, with love blossoming against all odds.
