Ever wonder what it’s like to be in business with organized crime, and want to get out? They say there is only one way in, and only one way out. The way in… is through someone else’s murder.

The way out…well, you know.

Detective Preston Hollis had never killed anyone during more than a decade in law enforcement. That all changes when one of his informants turns up dead and he is pulled, like a man being drawn and quartered, between his career, his loved ones, and the investigation.

Most career criminals are not known for their intellectual prowess, but when a Tampa crime boss devises a plan to kidnap a local Major League baseball player from his home and ransom him for millions, it goes beyond the pale. Undercover detective Preston Hollis, who is thrown into the investigation, will soon find his own life and the lives of his family hanging in the balance of the investigation, with the only apparent solution being to participate in the kidnapping plot, and possibly, a murder.

A truly harrowing, heart pounding tale of little man versus big man, The Diamond is as riveting as it gets.
