The Kámen – World Designs Ltd. Series, Book One

Posted on by under World Design Ltd. series

Eastern Europe is in chaos as the Soviet-backed system of Communism collapses.  But in Czechoslovakia, the population is jubilant.  Prague Spring has arrived at last!

But one colonel of the old order plans his escape.  He has access to priceless Bohemian museum pieces.  Never mind that they belong to the people of this nation.  They are to be stolen, and sold to a wealthy South American drug lord, for enough money to set up the colonel for life.

Ah, but Nico DiCapelli is having none of that.  His organization, World Designs Ltd., has sent him to an old inn, The Kámen, in the bucolic countryside of Czechoslovakia to shadow the elusive and mysterious Sylvia Duncan, and to intercept the museum pieces.  A fine plan, but as it turns out, the countryside is not so bucolic after all.  The colonel turns up dead, and suddenly Nico finds himself as the next target.

The Long Way Home – World Designs Ltd. Series, Book Two

Posted on by under World Design Ltd. series

Sylvia Duncan has recently departed post-communist Czechoslovakia to come to Amsterdam, at the invitation of Nico DiCapelli.  Instead, she runs into Salvadore San Martín and his motorcycle.  Literally.

So begins a long and perilous chase across The Netherlands and Belgium, as they find themselves once again tangling with the deadly and unscrupulous Colombian drug lord, Eduardo Fuentes.  But this time, there is another player in this dangerous contest, Salvadore’s brother, Raúl San Martín.  There is no mistaking whose side Raúl is on, as he has earned the sobriquet “la mano izquierda” – the Left Hand of Eduardo Fuentes.

How does Salvadore figure into all this?  And will Nico be able to untangle the conundrum before Sylvia once again falls under the control of the drug lord?

It’s a long way home, indeed.  But some won’t make it home at all.
