Directive Seven

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.

A murdered model. A missing girl. A lead no one wants followed. It's the late 1990s. An FBI Special Agent is pulled from his post at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and sent to Athens, Greece on a high-stakes mission. A Russian supermodel has been brutally murdered. Her closest friend is missing. The agent's new partner is from Russia's MVD-a sharp, young officer with elite training and no patience for American arrogance. Trust is limited. Time is short. And someone is already working to shut the investigation down. As the search widens, unexpected allies emerge-analysts, agents, and specialists with their own reasons for getting involved. One thing is clear: This isn't just another murder. It's the first step into something deeper-and darker. NADEZHDA DIES LAST - Book Two in the Directive Seven Series. An unflinching, high-stakes FBI thriller inspired by the real-life experiences of a former Special Agent. When cases are too sensitive, too strange, or too explosive for official channels, they're handed down from the Director's office-the seventh floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building-under a covert mandate known only as: DIRECTIVE SEVEN Operating without a team, without recognition, and sometimes without backup, one agent and his unlikely partners follow the threads others refuse to touch-from international conspiracies and high-level corruption to missing persons, apparitions, and secrets that were never meant to surface. These are the cases that never made the news-because they were never supposed to.
