. And
this is where the story begins and finally finishes back in Canada on the banks
of the river Niagara.

Smashwords – Chase The Devil – a book by John Madderson
Lady Dianna Scott Cartwright is dead on her bed with
a hole in her forehead, the lady is fully dressed and now the late wife of Sir James
Cartwright Diplomatic Ambassador to Honduras.
The body is inspected by Jack Hammond who is a detective in the Diplomatic Investigation Unit, an invisible unit responsible for the security and integrity of the government. His brief is simply to investigate misuse and serious corruption of power by serving politicians and if necessary is to proceed with extreme prejudice. The murder of the Lady leads Hammond into the murderous world of a “Snuff
Film” gang operation ran by two very senior politicians. This is later confirmed by the themes police in a news report that a number of bodies of homeless people were among those of young gay men floating in the Thames River with the same ligature markings and method of death.
Hammond finally uncovers the names of the
politicians and sets out to “correct” the situation with his normal enthusiasm to
do what the law wont. To Hammond the law is in the hands of the beholder….and
as he is the beholder….his law is in his hands.
Read more about Jack Hammond and his methods and how he dispenses justice, justice the public need never concern themselves with.
