Treachery In Turtle Bay »

After 30 years of technology consulting, the last six years of which were spent exclusively redesigning the United Nations’ money and information movement systems, in 2006 I began the process of reinventing myself as a writer. What began as an attempt to write a simple mystery soon escalated into what has become the most exciting adventure of my career. The first novel, 'Treachery In Turtle Bay', was inspired by my years at the United Nations and two events in particular: 1. During my consulting tenure, the much-publicized Oil for Food scandal erupted and despite the fact that $29.7 billion dollars went to people and places that could only be speculated on, the scandal died down. The primary tool used by the UN spin-doctors during this period was distraction. Get a lot of press from exposure of minor corruption but don't talk about the mother lode of missing funds. 2. One morning in 2005, the gory suicide described in chapter one actually happened and I was the real life embodiment of the character Hugh Masterson. Over the months since that occurred I kept thinking of what a great mystery could be written surrounding that event and weaving it into the saga of the missing 29.7 billion bucks and the policy of diversion. The first book was originally published in July 2009 and a revised edition published this past July (2010). This achievement led to the development of an outline for a mystery series based on actual events taking place in the world of diplomacy, large money and technology and spiked with greed, corruption and murder. Common to all the sagas is the sleuthing couple solving the mysteries and netting out a unique form of justice are Anna and Hugh Masterson The concept slowly took shape and the overview of the progressing plot for the first three-book collection evolved: Treachery In Turtle Bay II - Oil ~ Dollars ~ Diplomacy & The Sinister Three and deals with the Oil industry, Iraq and the theft of $1 Billion/month in Iraqi Oil cash flow, which exceeds $6 billion/Month. This work was released in July 2010 Treachery In Turtle Bay III - Nukes ~ Dollars ~ Diplomacy & The Sinister One, involves the control of the US Presidency, Russian Nukes and Iran, Afghanistan and Heroin. This, the third book in the collection, is scheduled for release in the spring of 2011.

A story of intrigue, technology laced sleuthing and murder based on the corruption plagued United Nations Oil For Food Program. A program where $29.7 Billion went missing! What happened to that $29,700,000,000? A man plummets from the window of his twentieth story apartment. His body is splattered over the walkways of a small park on East 45th Street in New York City. . . . and so it begins!

I wanted to read something different from my usual mysteries and this really caught my eye. It is easy reading but hard to put down. I think I found a new author to follow, or should I say new consultants. Anna and Hugh make a good team.
