Jan De Boort is a vicious by-product of the Apartheid system of South Africa, who discovers diamonds by accident in a remote area of the Transvaal. In order to mine them, he must first destroy an entire village of locals. The mass murderer may have gotten away with it, except two villagers escape and live to tell the rest of the world. His actions come to the attention of the International Court of Justice, which places an international warrant of arrest for crimes against humanity against De Boort. Paul Blair from the United Nations is given the task of executing this warrant. But the criminal escapes to South America to live in anonymity. Feeling secure, he creates an illegal drug manufacturing plant to further his criminal empire. Once again, it is Blair, a former U.S. Special Forces officer and now a civil and mining engineer working for the U.N., who is asked to track De Boort. But his trail has gone cold in Africa. In his usual fashion, Blair tracks De Boort to South America, and the game is on. Liam Adair attended private boarding school, where he earned a degree in civil engineering and environmental science.
