ZURICH CONTACT: CHUCK WINTERS THRILLER

Chuck Winters, retired ex San Francisco homicide detective embarks on his fourth attempt to bring notorious contract killer, Mason Hampton to justice. His quest has taken him to Hong Kong and mainland China, throughout Europe, and then off the shores of Cape Town, South Africa, where the big Gulfstream Jet he was thought to be on was blown from the sky. After carefully planning that 'great escape' he was thought to be dead until he was discovered again in the Caribbean on St. Maarten, by an off duty Lisbon policeman. Another manhunt occurred throughout Europe and ended with a hail of gunfire on the London docks where his luxury yacht exploded in the harbor and he was assumed dead. Almost a year later and due to a chance encounter by Americans on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, he was discovered to be alive again. Chuck gathered his always willing "Hampton Hunters", Art Levy, his former homicide partner and now private detective in San Francisco, Geoffrey Higgins, retired MI5 British Intelligence officer living in Lisbon with his wife at their beachfront hotel they operate, along with Marco Romano, Rome Special Prosecutor who joins in as much as possible, and off they went again, that time Japan, Southeast Asia, Rome and North Africa in their quest to bring him to justice once and for all. He was once again presumed dead after falling off the highest peak in North Africa's Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Once again, a mistake by Victoria, his attorney girlfriend, whose been traveling him since his days in Cape Town, South Africa, has just caused him to be discovered on a private island in British Columbia.

Mason Hampton on the other hand has accumulated a huge fortune of his own and can afford to buy his way out of trouble, wherever he might be, and also lives a first class lifestyle while doing it.
