About this eBook
FRENCH DIAMONDS is the third action-thriller novel to feature WILLIAM CHURCH, the freelance recovery specialist based in San Francisco. In this novel CHURCH is retained by a New York insurance company to recover fifteen-million dollars worth of diamond jewelry stolen during a violent robbery at a Las Vegas hotel. The jewelry was stolen from a French jewelry designer attending an international diamond show. The five men who committed the robbery are hardened criminals belonging to an eastern European syndicate. CHURCH, in his effort to unravel the elaborate criminal network supporting the operation, clashes with leaders of the gang in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles. A ransom of twenty-million dollars is demanded in exchange for the return of the jewelry. A deadline of one week compels CHURCH to move fast in pursuit of the diamonds. Aided by a female FBI agent and a Russian mixed martial arts expert, CHURCHs quest for the diamonds takes him from the international diamond bourses of Antwerp and Amsterdam to the gangs headquarters on the Adriatic coast. Along the way, deadly exchanges of gunfire leave bodies from Las Vegas to Trieste.
