The Defector's Diary: The Pete West Mystery Series

By Ray C Doyle

Pete West, a political columnist, travels to Prague to find a missing diplomat, later found murdered. He attempts to discover more about a cryptic note received from the diplomat and is immediately entangled in the secret Bilderberg Club's strategy to form a world federation.

Pete meets a Czechian agent who wants asylum. She has a murdered EU Commissioner's diary containing clues to the civil unrest planned by the club, encrypted in algebraic chess notations. West seeks answers and links up with retired MI6 officer Tosh. While escaping would-be captors, they decode enough chess moves to reveal the anarchy of the Bilderbergs' plan. Desperate, West abandons their last clue to save a parliamentarian from assassination. Questions remain, which are answered unexpectedly by the BBC.
