Retrieval and Security, Inc.

In this fast-paced, adrenaline rush of a debut novel, freelance retrieval expert Erik Deckard brings a high-value retrieval job to Ashleigh Wanamaker--the no-nonsense CEO of Retrieval and Security, Inc. (RASI), who spares no expense to outfit her teams and reward them for successful retrievals. Ashleigh, whose headquarters are located in the Trump Tower in NYC, convinces the Minister of Home Affairs in Cape Town, South Africa, to contract with RASI to retrieve a $500 million package of raw diamonds from a sunken ship. But things take a lethal turn when the Lesanti Family and the Black Sharks get involved after the retrieval of the diamond package--along with a ton of stolen gold that was surreptitiously stashed aboard the sunken ship. An expensive airplane, a luxury yacht, and an experimental underwater vehicle are key players in this high-stakes operation as Erik, his South African friend Niko Mandylor, and the RASI team work feverishly in the waters off South Africa to retrieve the diamonds--not once but twice. Retrieval and Security, Inc. follows the increasingly complicated and dangerous operation, which involves a turncoat government employee, two dangerous groups of bad guys, the South African National Intelligence Agency, and the South African Navy and Air Force.
