Diamonds Are For Now
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?
When the world's most famous writer of thrillers, Hoad Powell, vanishes on a heavily-guarded private island in the Caribbean with a glamorous woman dripping diamonds, fashion-editor Blake and her handsome, sexy husband, ex-cop Ralph, must rescue him.
But can they?
Did the celebrity author disappear willingly? Or not?
Is he a prisoner? Or is he an international arms dealer who sells nukes to terrorists, dictators, and rogue militias around the world?
Will Blake and Ralph succeed in their quest?
Or will they fail?
And what will happen when oh-so-macho Ralph finds out that Blake is making more money than he does?
