Wild Horse Island

By Don Oylear

Not your ordinary crime story, it's an international high stakes poker game full of twists and turns. Woven into the intriguing plot lines are colorful characters and cutting edge technology, which make the book an enticing page-turner.
FBI Special Agent, Reid Daniels, and brilliant Inventor, Kendall Hughes, make an unlikely pair. The murder of a Chinese diplomat in seemingly impossible circumstances creates an international situation and forces the duo into a life and death chase to stop the killers. Emerging from her childhood curiosity, Hughes led the invention of the CP Pak transport, which sends people through the internet to anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds. The CP Pak transport became the most impactful invention in the world over the previous 90 years.
Daniels heads a diverse team of computer geeks in Seattle who work on solving Internet crimes. When a CP Pak transport arrives in Seattle one cold February morning with a dead Chinese Diplomat in the pod, Reid and his team are assigned to solve not only who committed the crime, but how did they do it. As implausible as it seemed, the dead man appeared to have been strangled during the few seconds of the transport through the Internet. Not before. Not after. But during the Internet transport.
The mission is dangerous. Daniels and his team work primarily behind their computer screens. They are picked to lead the investigation because of the hi tech nature of the crime even though they have never been involved in a murder investigation. Kendall Hughes, which is not her real name, wants nothing to do with the investigation. For strongly held personal reasons, she's had it with the U.S. government after they had taken ownership of her invention. And now they want her to help, fat chance
The Chinese are incensed and threaten military retaliation against the U.S. Pressure to solve the case quickly is coming from the Oval Office. The Russian assassination team, who killed the Chinese man, receive anonymous orders for more diplomatic hits onboard CP Pak transports. At the same time, the mastermind leader of the Russian assassins, Yuri Rozov, while continuing the assassinations as ordered, is also setting his sights on Daniels and Hughes. Stopping them will stop the investigation for just long enough to allow the assassination team to complete their work and receive their big pay day.
Can Daniels and Hughes quickly resolve their differences, dodge the Russian assassins, figure out how the crime was committed, track down Yuri Rozov and his team and capture whomever is in charge behind the scenes?
