  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.

  Kimo's Hawaiian heritage comes to the fore in this deadly investigation 
  Openly gay Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa’aka and his partner, Ray Donne, are on duty at a rally in downtown Honolulu organized by Kingdom of Hawai’i, one of many competing groups which seek reparations from the US for the loss of land and independence. An elderly woman is shot dead there, only a few feet from where Kimo’s mother and nephews are taking part in the demonstration, and Kimo and Ray take the case. 
  At the same time, Kimo’s dealing with domestic difficulties, having just moved in with his partner, fire investigator Mike Riccardi. Since both are alpha males, the transition to shared living space isn’t easy, especially because Mike’s parents live next door. 
  As Kimo and Mike struggle to adapt to living together, they begin to forge their own ohana—a Hawaiian term which means family, as well as community. The theme of ohana resonates through both Kimo’s personal life and his investigation of the murder as Kimo and Ray follow clues through a labyrinth of competing groups, uncovering a trail of gambling, money laundering, and mental illness. 
  The title refers both to the blood spilled in three murders, as well as the blood ties that link native Hawaiians to each other. People come together in many ways here—through native heritage and family ties as well as love and fellowship.

  Unflappable as ever, Sejer digs below the surface of small-town tranquility in an effort to understand how and why violence destroys everyday lives. Another brilliantly observed, precisely rendered psychological mystery from the highly acclaimed Karin Fossum.
