THE CURSE OF THE HOPE DIAMOND AWAITS. Diamond thieves plan to hit major European cities in a brilliantly timed and orchestrated plot. Interpol must track them down before they attack. The robbers are cunning. Their schemes are ingenious. The target? Some of the world’s most prestigious jewelry stores, including Tiffany’s and Harry Winston’s. And annual events such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Paris Fashion Show. Diamond jewelry usually adorns movie stars and top models at these celebrations. If the criminals have their way, the diamonds will disappear. One of the daring bandits has his eye on the most famous gem in the world: the Hope Diamond. This 45-carat blue stone, surrounded by white diamonds, is valued at $245 million. On display at the Smithsonian for decades, the rock was originally mined in India in the 1600s and then inset in the forehead of a large temple idol. Throughout history, the Hope Diamond has either been stolen or sold for riches. But this stunning gemstone comes with a curse—dreadful misfortunes befall those who’ve possessed it. Is the thief willing to risk everything to steal this legendary treasure?

Can Anyone Stop the Beautiful Villain and Her Murderous Ways?One reviewer wrote, "I really enjoyed this story; it was a lot of fun in the best tradition of a Ken Follet thriller or classic action-adventure movie." Readers of J.T. Kelly's International Thriller series are familiar with a megalomaniac named Adamis Baum. He and his minions believed the earth couldn't sustain the world's current population because of its dwindling natural resources. As a result, terrorists planned to annihilate billions of people by dispersing an Ebola Zaire virus into the world's water systems. To protect his faithful from the deadly virus, Baum forced a hostile takeover of the pharmaceutical company NuPharma Corporation. Its drug, RGB101, offered phenomenal healing powers - even as a cure for the Ebola virus. Fortunately, Interpol tracked down Baum in Europe and brutally ended his life before he could implement his deranged scheme. In an ironic twist, American Jack McCabe turned out to be the closest living relative to Baum and inherited his fortune. Since that time, Jack and his company used RGB101 to cure a variety of diseases and viruses in different parts of the world. Fast-forward to Formula for a Felony. McCabe has submitted RGB101 for FDA clinical trials, hoping to treat patients with heart disease and diabetes. The NuPharma team is unaware of a corrupt pharmaceutical lobby known as the Consortium that's desperately opposed to the FDA approval. Karsen Ojin, an uber-wealthy power broker, has nearly amassed a controlling interest in the six pharmas behind it. These drug companies produce products that are already successful in the markets NuPharma hopes to compete. The Consortium's fears of RGB101 cutting into their profits lead to a series of felonies to stop the new competitor in its tracks. Along with murderers and kidnappers, the pharmaceutical lobby has two unscrupulous senators in its pocket. Ojin's beguiling enforcer leverages her contacts in the underworld to achieve the lobby's ruthless agenda.

This second novel keeps you spellbound from one conflict to the next. Tensions are rising near the ancient Potawatomi burial mounds on the shore of Lake Maxinkuckee in northern Indiana.

WHAT WAS CARVED INTO THE VICTIMS' FOREHEADS? It was the summer of 1960 and Jackie McCabe was just 11. He and his pal Hugo DeMann were always out for adventure at Lake Maxinkuckee. During a sleepover one night, Hugo urged his friend to sneak out of the family cottage to explore. Several shocking events quickly sent them scurrying home. A few days later, the boys were hunting for wayward golf balls in the woods next to the golf course. They knew the greenskeeper would pay them enough to buy ice cream cones. But Jackie found something quite horrifying. In the weeks that followed, dead bodies began turning up around the lake. In each case, the corpses had something macabre and unexplained carved into their foreheads. The police chief and his deputy were at their wits' end. When the circus came to town that summer, everyone received a brief reprieve from the terror. Little did they know that the circus helped shape the killer's demented mind. It wasn't long before an FBI detective arrived to help solve these grisly murders. Despite his best efforts, suspects and motives remained elusive. Who could be behind these lethal messages?
