Diamonds For Death: Sharon O'Mara Book Five
by Gregory C. Randall
Diamonds For Death is Book 5 in the ongoing action thriller adventures of Sharon O’Mara.
Most fans in North America consider the game of baseball to be an exciting and relaxing pastime, but little more than that. It's rich men playing a children's game - not a matter of life or death. Yet for many young players in third world countries, baseball is a a golden ticket dangling in front of them. It is their chance to escape poverty and grab a bright new future - if they are lucky and skilled enough to seize it. Toro Rodriguez, Cuban slugger and expert right fielder, is one of the fortunate ones to make it big in the American major leagues. However, the price he pays for his success is brutal—he had to leave is family in Cuba. Now they’ve been kidnapped and secretly held somewhere by a government agent that wants to use them to force him back to Cuba.
In this fast-paced fifth installment of the Sharon O'Mara action-adventure-thriller series, Gregory C. Randall combines the world of international baseball with political repression, diamond smuggling, and murder. O'Mara, a tough veteran of the Iraqi War and now successful fixer and facilitator, is hired to go to Cuba to retrieve Rodriquez's family. Meanwhile, her pal Kevin Bryan, is hired to stop a diamonds for guns operation that stretches from the Caribbean to Europe and Africa. Both Sharon and Kevin will need all their skills and wits to survive their seemingly separate missions that come crashing back together in San Francisco.
A reviewer said about this about the author: "Randall exhibits all of the tools of a top-notch thriller writer. However, unlike many authors in the field he opts for more realistic action than the overblown variety. Expertly employing the techniques of backstory, character development, believable dialogue, and rising suspense, he has crafted a story that can stand toe-to-toe with some of the best examples in the genre out there." Excerpted from a review by John E. Roper – The US Review of Books
“Diamonds For Death” is a carefully crafted mystery adventure that continues to demonstrate and document Randall as a master storyteller. Exceptionally well written, “Diamonds For Death” is a solid entertainment from beginning to end and highly recommended for mystery/suspense enthusiasts. From a review by The Midwest Book Review
