Greenknight

GreenKnight is a thriller of love, patriotism, and corruption within the Executive branch of the government, and is the second novel in the Green trilogy, the first being GreenCove. In GreenKnight, Sheldon Flagler Scott finds himself on the Tamiami Trail in southern Florida heading west out of Miami with a hurricane at his back. Hurricane Kitty, a slow-moving, immense storm is approaching the southeast coast of the state. Shell is a special agent for the United States Secret Service pledged to keep the President out of trouble politically. On the way to Tampa, Shell sees a burning car, a white Mercedes, on the edge of the Trail with two dead bodies inside. The trunk is open and inside is a rather large footlocker filled with a fortune in cash and diamonds. The novel concerns itself with drugs, shoot-outs and murders, bombings and waterspouts. Shell discovers a Cuban plot to become a world power and traces the problem to the DEA and a nest of dishonesty, graft, bribery, and fraud in high places.
