When agent Tom Jackson is seconded to Interpol's new HQ in Singapore he takes the Brutus team with him from the Australian Federal Police. They are given the routine task of tracking the luxury yacht Enigma Two owned by the Baron & Baroness von Staf.

It doesn't take long for them to discover that the couple are not who they seem, and the yacht has a sinister purpose as an instrument for the Church of Purification. The plots include blackmail, drug running and terrorist operations which threaten the western world.

Tom and his team are targeted in this thriller where there is nowhere to hide from Monte Carlo to the crocodile infested beaches of Northern Australia.

1 y separately published work icon Pure Greed Rick Osborn , United States of America (USA) : Rick Osborn , 2012 10493233 2012 single work novel thriller adventure

Pure Greed continues the story of the Church of Purification’s quest to destroy capitalism and establish world government.

The Church plans to release a highly poisonous gas, which they call VX-S gas, on the 46th anniversary of the Six Day War. The gas is contained in a Peace Globe in Zion Square in Israel.

VX-S is a development of VX gas which was discovered by the British in 1952, and is the most toxic nerve agent ever created. So dangerous in fact, that the British decided to discontinue plans to introduce it into their military.

Sgt Tom Jackson and his team at Strike Force Brutus are on the case, but as events unfold Tom is caught up in a scandal that threatens both his career and his marriage.

A power struggle within The Church further complicates matters as events unfold around the world in the most dramatic way.
