My novel revolves around two main characters, Paul Blair from the UN and Jan De Boort, a mass murderer. Jan De Boort is a vicious by-product of the apartheid system of South Africa, who discovers some diamonds by accident in a remote area of the Transvaal. In order to mine the diamonds, he must destroy an entire village of locals. He may have gotten away with this, except for the fact that two villagers escaped and lived to tell the rest of the world. This would come to the attention of the International Court of Justice, where De Boort would be placed on an international warrant for arrest on crimes against humanity. However, he escapes to South America to anonymity. Feeling secure, he creates an illegal drug-manufacturing plant to further his criminal empire. Again Paul Blair, a former US Special Forces officer, now a civil and mining engineer working for the United Nations, is asked to track this individual. He has done this in the past for others, for the international court. The trail by now has gone cold, but Blair in his usual fashion does not give up and will track this person to South America. Once De Boort's whereabouts are known, Blair sets about systematically destroying this person's empire before capturing De Boort and, in time, turning him over to the international court, where justice will be served for the villagers he slaughtered.

About the Author
I am an Irishborn author who was educated at a private boarding school in England. I currently reside in Victoria, Australia. In retirement and to keep me occupied, I undertook the task of president and tutor of the University of the Third Age, Geelong, Victoria, to help reestablish the organization. I dedicated myself completely to writing. To enhance the stories and scenarios in my books, I have used my previous employment that took me to several countries and my previous military service to create my main character, Paul Blair, a fictional character based on my own life experiences. Paul Blair stars in the Sterling Connection, the Rand Connection, the Rubble Connection, the DC Connection, and New Directions. All of which are centered on Paul Blair and his team of dedicated followers. I have currently finished my sixth book titled Blood Under the Maple Leaf, in which I have created a new character, DCS Benson RCMP, who goes on to solve crimes involving serials killers and other major cold cases. This will be followed by a seventh book entitled "The Dawson Affair."
