The Transplant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480968707)

The author has always had an interest in adventure stories. While confined to his home two years ago with an illness, he received inspiration from a movie called That Man Bolt about a black international courier who was well dressed and had a secured briefcase attached to his wrist. The author imagined a smart rugged city detective coming into an unexpected inheritance a continent away.
