This novel is first of a series of four superb crime thrillers that take the reader to many parts of the world and feature hero and unique crime buster and family man Blarney Pike, and his skilled friends, in the remote but extraordinary town of Stanley in Tasmania. Blarney and Alex Pike, husband wife network marketers for American-based Argo, become embroiled in a menacing predicament when their American friend and fellow networker Jack Sussoms is murdered in the Czech Republic whilst they are there also. The situation quickly and terrifyingly escalates into a fast-moving and complex intrigue of murder, graft, corruption and terrorism. Most of the action takes place in Stanley in a remote corner of both Tasmania and the world with modern-day technology making possible communication between the players on this world stage. Officers from many police and secret service organisations from across the world, including the CIA, become involved as the mystery evolves. Argo leaders and associated terrorist organisations try to cover their criminality. They will stop at nothing. As Blarney and his friends become entangled in these rapidly moving, life-threatening and gripping events, and Blarney finds himself facing a long time in jail, the reader will be caught up in the tension and excitement of this always-gripping tale. Amazing internet feats by Blarney's computer whiz friend help deliver justice.
