Sr. Reviewer - Narayan Radhakrishnan writes:

Nicolas M. Kublicki's debut thriller The Diamond Conspiracy combines hard-hitting legal suspense, superb techno-action & thrilling adventure. It is a wonderful & page-turning read; a modernday MacKenna's Gold.

Piet Slythe heads an international network that controls the world's supply of diamonds. He is a ruthless multi-millionaire, & the world bullion economy is defacto in his control.

Attorney Patrick Carlton lands the case of a lifetime when he is ordered to settle a lawsuit over a diamond mine. He uncovers a deep-rooted conspiracy that will reverberate through the whole diamond industry. Soon he is drawn into the heat of things & is pitted against Piet Slythe, in a world of mass deception, greed, power & murder.

Carlton's investigation leads him to a behind-the scenes-dealings in the White House, & opponents who would have him dead at the first opportunity. What follows is a David/Goliath fight with the attorney trying to bring Slythe & his cronies to justice.

Kublicki delivers a punch-packed thriller & it is difficult to believe that this is his first book. He combines just the right proportion of techno-thriller elements of the like of Tom Clancy, legal thriller action of the style of John Grisham & pure adventure style of Clive Cussler. He has done wonderful research & his knowledge is well showcased in The Diamond Conspiracy.

A truly breathtaking novel & a great read.

I am a 26 years old lawyer practicing in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Along with my legal practice, I have finished post-graduate studies for both Business Law & Human Rights. I am a self proclaimed numero-uno legal thriller lover & am the proud owner of all of Grisham's & Turow's novels. I enjoy John Mortimer's Rumpole & relish an occasional Martini & a rare Scot(ch)t-oline with a Patterson on the side.

My work A FICTION OF LAW is now about 500 pages in length & features 500 lawyer authors & 2000 legal thrillers covering a 300 year period - inclusive of entries from the USA, UK, Asia, Europe, China, Middle East etc. Still in search of a publisher.
