The Winged Fortune

His cover is blown.

His target knows his name.

Now, on a hijacked jetliner miles from civilization, the hunter is about to become the hunted.

On a flight from Johannesburg to London, legendary former detective Fabel Retief is playing a deadly game. His mission. To shadow the cunning international smuggler, Mr. Paxanos, and recover a fortune in stolen diamonds. Retief is a ghost, a nameless face in the crowd, and the trap is set for their arrival in London.

But Paxanos is one step ahead. The plane is hijacked and forced to the chaotic Congo, a brilliant deception to throw the authorities off the scent. Stranded, framed, and imprisoned, Retief realizes the hijacking was a masterful diversion. The real courier, and the diamonds, are still in play, hidden behind the most innocent of faces. Failure isn’t just an option; it’s a death sentence.

From the lawless streets of Leopoldstad to a derelict airfield on the foggy coast of England, Retief must go deep undercover to unmask a conspiracy far more complex than he ever imagined. This globetrotting adventure is a high-octane classic action thriller packed with twists, old-school espionage, and a shocking betrayal. Perfect for fans of classic spy thrillers and mysteries where nothing is as it seems.

First came the dragon, then the girl. Now comes the fortune that could unleash hell. The epic Fabel Retief series continues with its most electrifying adventure yet. Are you ready for The Winged Fortune?
