An ex-cop turned P.I., Sloan investigates the mysterious theft of an armored truck full
of diamonds and the death of an Eagle Security guard. Set in Washington, D.C., the

have is the distress call from the crew of Eagle Eleven as it was under attack.

Days later, the harpoon-impaled body of one of the guards floats to the banks of the
Potomac River. But the bodys discovery doesnt put the authorities any closer to
finding the diamonds, the money, or the killers of Eagles guards.

Beauford Sloan leaves the serenity of his Blue Ridge Mountain ranch and takes the case,
on the request of the dead guards mother. She wants her sons killers brought to justice.
Eagle Securitys insurance company wants the diamonds and money recovered, and the

death seems to follow his every step.
