Barking Rain Press announced the acquisition of the worldwide print and electronic publishing rights for the crime thriller The Diamond Seekers from the UK author duo of Jack Everett and David B. Coles. Mr. Everett and Mr. Coles have collaborated on a number of novels together, including the historical thriller “The Last Free Men” and the crime thrillers “The Tourist” and “1/1:Jihad-Britain.”
When a courier for the powerful crime family descended from Niccolò Machiavelli realizes he’s being followed by a rival family assassin, he takes a detour through the English countryside to shake his pursuer. He manages to hide his precious cargo—a fortune in blood diamonds from South Africa—before his pursuer collides with an English family on a holiday drive. The courier drowns in a swollen river; the mother and son die in the crash. The father is emotionally devastated, and retires in despair from his MI5 cipher career.
Five years later, the head of the Machiavelli crime family, Alberto Lorente, is still in pursuit of his missing diamonds and is ready to launch an ambitious scheme to recover them. What follows is a twisted trail of murder, kidnapping and layers upon layers of subterfuge. The British Security Services are seriously compromised, but no one knows how or by whom—and our former MI5 cipher expert is on everyone’s shopping list.
The Diamond Seekers has been assigned to Barking Rain Press senior staff editor Ti Locke of Decatur Island, Washington. Publication for both the print and eBook formats of The Diamond Seekers is anticipated for the summer of 2012.
