“Would you not be buyin’ me a drink?” A pretty woman in her early thirties appears from nowhere. “Sorry darlin’ – I have got to go.” I reply in a strong Ulster accent. Her blue eyes framed by tight curly blonde hair, show a shadow of disappointment. “Are you on a promise then?” She smiles seductively. The warning bells scream in my head. ‘I must get out of here!!’ One thing is clear, the woman is a plant for the Provos. If I arouse her suspicions further – I am a dead man. Something else becomes frighteningly obvious – my cover is blown. The IRA are on to me. This is Catholic territory – IRA territory…. James Daniel, a member of the SAS is working under cover in the Ulster powder keg which is Belfast. He survives the ordeals of serving in the Special Air Service and also the tragic death of his wife to embark on a successful career as a best selling novelist. Ironically, the fame and fortune leads him to another ‘hell on earth.’ This time it is in the Balkans. The former Yugoslavia has denigrated into the biggest Holocaust since World War Two. Thousands upon thousands of Muslims are slaughtered in the name of Ethnic Cleansing - a particular hell that is Bosnia and Kosovo – Albania. It is a hell that the UN are powerless to control in the face of the sheer slaughter imposed by the Serbian war lords. James Daniel enlists the financial backing of two Texan heavyweights. One of whom is a General in the US Marines and the Commander of the Allied Forces in the Balkans. He is on track to establish a charity organization to bring the Muslim and Serbian youth together – to find a common denominator and halt the hatred before it is too late. A chance meeting with the beautiful Italian Countessa Da Marco, has him revising his plans after a daring rescue of her friend in Montenegro and getting her back to Italy. His life embarks on a new path way when he forsakes his native New Zealand for a life in the Italian Alps. This is a story of one man, haunted by the tragedies of his past and by the horrors he finds in THE DEVILS SOUL GARDEN...
