The Axel Files: The Blue Diamond Affair
The Search for the Saudi Blue

Ari Katz, an old friend and Israeli Lahav 433 Agent, approaches Investigator Axel Webb to find the Saudi Blue, a 50-carat blue diamond stolen in 1989 by a Thai servant, Jira Bun Ma, working at the palace of a Saudi Prince. After a quick Thai police investigation, Bun Ma was arrested. Most of the gems were found and returned to the Saudis with great fanfare. Unfortunately, many items returned were fakes and not the original gems stolen. The most valuable of the missing gems was the Saudi Blue. When Saudi officials noticed newspaper photographs of the wives of high-ranking members of the Thai police and government wearing the Prince’s jewellery, they knew they’d been played. The result was the murder of three Saudi diplomats and a Saudi businessman and friend of the Prince. The diplomatic disaster led to thirty years of tensions between the two countries. In January 2022, the two countries ended their feud even though the Saudi Blue was still missing.

The Israelis want Axel to find the diamond so they can quietly return it to the Saudis to cement their cooperation in assisting in the elimination of terrorist groups in the region. It could also lead to the signing of the stalled Abraham Accords.

Israeli intelligence believes the Saudi Blue is in the hands of an expat Thai living in Toronto who has ties to the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians involved in the fake gem scandal that led to the diplomatic rift. Axel’s partner, the Yakuza Oyabun, Hibiki Sato, locates several possible suspects: a former Thai restaurateur whose wife is related to high-ranking Thai government officials, a former Thai Deputy Minister of Industry who was responsible for the success of the Thai gem trade, and the son of a Chao pho gangster who runs a chain of successful Muay Thai training facilities.

To find the Saudi Blue, Axel and Ari have to dig deep into the thirty-five-year-old cold case that resulted in multiple murders and a diplomatic disaster. They also have to contend with Kamal Jabari, a Saudi Mabahith assassin whose mission is to find and eliminate the people who killed his fellow countrymen.

An audacious robbery, multiple assassinations, diplomatic discord, crooked police, corrupt authorities, a Chao pho gangster, rival intelligence agencies and Axel all collide in the search for the Saudi Blue.

The Axel Files: The Man With 21 Faces
Sweet Revenge Is A Bitter Treat

The Man With 21 Faces is back.

Private Detective Axel Webb is called to Japan by his Yakuza partner and friend, Hibiki Sato, to help the authorities find who’s behind the new threats. Axel’s expertise is finding lost, stolen, or misappropriated relics of great value, not people. However, the Japanese Naichō and PSIA requested his unofficial help in solving the problem. Axel has no choice but to help.

The Man With 21 Faces has remained silent for forty years. But in 1984, his crime spree involved kidnapping, property destruction, corporate harassment, product poisoning, and demands for ransoms, none of which were ever collected. The Man With 21 Faces may not have profited from his crime, but he did almost bankrupt two giant snack food and baby food manufacturers by randomly poisoning packages of their products.

The failure of the police to capture The Man With 21 Faces was so damaging to the public’s confidence in the authorities that the police Superintendent in charge of the investigation committed suicide by setting himself on fire. Now, after forty years, The Man With 21 Faces is back, and this time he means to collect.

Like most of Axel’s cases, the solution lies in the forgotten history that predates the 1984 incidents, a history forgotten by the public and the authorities but not by those who suffered from corporate greed, court corruption, and a government coverup that ruined thousands of lives.

For The Man With 21 Faces, revenge is a bitter treat.
