  THE DIAMOND GAME 
  Book One of the DIRECTIVE SEVEN Series. 
  Based on the real investigations of the author, a former FBI Special Agent. 
  When operations are too strange - or too dangerous - for official channels, they're handed down from the Director's office under a covert mandate known only as Directive Seven. 
  The Diamond Game is a pulse-pounding thriller drawn from the author's time inside the Bureau, where the strange, the dangerous, and the unexplainable intersect in deadly ways. 
  There is the mystery woman who demands a Russian-speaking FBI agent. A kidnapped tech mogul, apparitions, UFOs, deadly cults, a massive cache of looted treasures from Russia as the Cold War is winding down: diamonds, gold, and Faberge eggs worth hundreds of millions. 
  In a world with no clear rules - and too many players - he moves through shifting alliances, reading the board one dangerous move at a time. Trust is a luxury. Instinct is survival. 
  Every twist is steeped in truth. The names are changed. The secrets aren’t. 
  With callbacks to Serpico, The Godfather, and the gritty moral gray zones of Prince of the City, this story peels back the curtain on the parts of the FBI you’re not supposed to see—where loyalty can be fatal, truth is elusive, and belief can be manipulated. 
  If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to carry the FBI Special Agent credentials and badge—this is as close as you'll get.
