    About this ebook

    The Special Investigator team of Matt Diamond and
    Natasha Cutter had returned to their new offi ce in
    Beverly Hills California and were going over a large
    list of potential clients when one caught their eye.
    They had received a call from Ms. Gloria
    Goldstein regarding the murder of her parents
    and the theft of a large twenty-carat light pink
    diamond from their jewelry store. The police had
    been of little help and she was most anxious for
    them to investigate the tragedy.
    Although the event began in Beverly Hills, the location changed quickly to
    Johannesburg South Africa and meant that the globe traveling team would once
    more return to the same country where they had been in their previous case.
    The hunt for the theft of the diamond and the murder of Benjamin and Rebecca
    Goldstein had to begin at the original source, the antique studio of Martin
    Clause in Johannesburg. He was the fi rst one to purchase, what he later called
    The Empress diamond, from a local black man, for $500,000 and sold it to the
    Goldsteins for a solid $1,000,000 a few days later. The Empress was the largest
    light pink diamond ever found in the world and was a chance fi ne in Tanzania.
    Although vastly under-priced and could be worth millions more, the only place
    it could demand its real value was in the United States and the Goldsteins were
    the way to get it to the American market.
    Entering into the theft and murders were three former American Special Forces
    veterans and their mission was the pursuit of the Empress. At the same time,
    there was a sinister fi gure behind all of this with a code name of THE RED FOX
    that would pay any cost to obtain the Empress. His interest in the Empress was
    to obtain it for a billionaire, Sir Fredrick Marsh, who wanted it as a birthday gift
    for his wife.
    It was now up to Matt Diamond and Natasha Cutter to follow the trail of the
    Deadly Diamond. A trail that would include
    the deaths of several others and a diamond
    that many would believe was cursed.
    The intrigue of who has it now is an
    exciting trip and the surprise ending will get
    the reader out of his seat with the strange twist of faith.
