Aikido Anaconda: A Black Diamond Mystery

This is the first book in a new series, The Black Diamond Mysteries. It features the cast of the Aikido Mysteries and introduces a whole new cast of interesting characters. Aikido Anaconda takes place in Montana and it is here where we discover the back story about Parker's father and his mysterious death. To quote every hackneyed western ever written, he "Just wants to find the dirty so-and-so that shot my Pa.". But of course it is about much more than that. The evil that still lurks in Montana, even decades after the closing of the Anaconda Copper Mine and the hideous pollution left by the smelters and the miners, the waste of human and natural wildlife, and the hundreds of thousands of acres left with enough toxic waste to make any use impossible - these things need some attention as well. Parker and Opie Taylor face off against impossible odds but find help in unlikely places. A band of brothers from the ranks of retired FBI agents join forces as well as a gorgeous Sergeant from the Missoula County Sheriff's Department... and just in time. And what does it always come down to? Follow the money. Parker does what he always does and with gold glittering, and guns blazing and the aikido masters swirling the enemies away... Montana will never seem the same.This is the beginning of the Black Diamond Mysteries, and it fits in hand and glove with the Aikido Mysteries. It won't be the last.
