Book Two

In the Underbelly of the Human Trafficking World …

While leading college students on a field trip in Spain, Professor Nathan Radcliff encounters a frantic Romanian girl attempting to escape her pursuers. Trying to help, he unwittingly disrupts a major operation by Europe’s largest human trafficking organization. Its leader, a psychotic despot named Dante, channels victims to markets throughout the world and provides slave labor for his Western Sahara phosphate mine. Suspected as an agent, Nathan is abducted and sent to Dante’s villa for questioning, unaware that no one escapes.

In this second book of a series, Nathan encounters the unlikely help of a quirky Spanish artist, the streetwise and tattooed Chief of Spain’s UN Bureau for Human Trafficking, a pony-tailed Catholic priest moonlighting as an undercover detective, and Greek MI6 agent Zizi Petrakis … Nathan's on-again off-again lover. Unknown to them, Dante plans to release deadly Sarin gas on hundreds of victims to rid the world of the “undesirables.”

Book Three

Overthrow a Government, Destabilize the World, and ...

When the murder of a bank president on a small Aegean island raises international concerns, Nathan is recruited to investigate. At issue is an immense treasure hidden beneath a graveyard near Istanbul in 330 A.D. Included in the fortune is a parchment delineating the original boundaries of Armenia with the future Republic of Turkey. When knowledge of the treasure sparks violence, Nathan, and Zizi race to prevent a faction from blowing up the massive Bosphorus Bridge; an act that would block military and commercial ship traffic and prompt Russian retaliation.

This is an epic thriller reminiscent of Brad Thor (Foreign Influence), Robert Ludlum (The Sigma Protocol), and Dan Brown (Angels and Demons).

“A must read for a world needing healing and awareness that God shows up
even in the mess as He relentlessly pursues our hearts. Ken’s raw transparency

A whitewashed Spanish village. Golden Greek islands. Vast Egyptian deserts. Trouble.

Picking Olives and Breaking Bread, Book One, is a poignant story about a couple who find God, grow spiritually, encounter adventure, trials, and success in some of Europe’s most beautiful places.
