The Eagle Heist - Raymond Austin

The Eagle HeistRenowned screenwriter and television director Raymond Austin introduces Beauford Sloan to the world of crime fiction in the authors exciting debut. 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 case takes the cunning Beauford to Morocco and finally to Spain where he makes the shocking discovery of the mastermind behind the Eagle heist.

An Eagle Security armored truck carrying sixteen million dollars worth of diamonds and three million in cash disappears in Washington, D.C. The only clue the police and FBI 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.

Six months later with the case gone cold, ex-Virginia cop turned private investigator 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 police and FBI want to close the case. Beauford Sloan sets out on a trail of clues where death seems to follow his every step.
