An Explosive Affair

Ben Hood isn’t all that comfortable with BDSM practices. He’s never actually spanked anybody, and no-one has ever spanked him! When the body of his work partner’s brother is found washed up on the beach of a small island off the coast of Far North Queensland, with a dog collar and chain around his neck, Ben finds himself dragged into a dark, dangerous world where only his special fighting skills and ability to survive against the odds, can keep him and others alive.

St. Helena Island in Queensland’s Moreton Bay, was a prison to some of the most vicious and dangerous criminals in Australia during the early 1900’s. Many are buried there, some thrown down a deep well and left to die in agony. An old house now stands over the well. The house is empty. The old couple who lived there are dead. Some say it’s haunted. Someone is trying to burn it down. Ben Hood is hired to guard the house by the stunningly beautiful granddaughter of the deceased couple. It’s supposed to be an easy job. Dead easy.

The flesh traders kidnap daughters of the wealthiest people in the world, ship them secretly to Australia, brainwash and terrorise them before selling them as sex slaves in an exclusive underwater resort. Parents are forced to make regular ransom payments, or have their daughters killed. Only ex-detective Ben Hood (desperately attempting to take a relaxing holiday) could accidently stumble into an operation so sinister and dangerous. They know he knows. They have engaged the most bizarre and deadly hit man in Australia to take him out. Only a crazy person would attempt to smash this operation and try to rescue any of these girls. Then again, this is Ben Hood and they say he is a little crazy.

Ex Detective Sergeant Ben Hood, now a VIP protection operative, finds himself the target of a twisted serial killer when he is sent to protect Far North Australian Socialite, Merinda Jerome. Bodies and body parts are turning up in the deadly and ghostly caverns of Black Mountain. A graveyard is robbed. The killer seems to be two totally different identities. Perhaps he is white, or perhaps black. He is always one step ahead of Police and always too close for comfort. He uses a variety of unusual killing techniques. The man hunt is on, but who is hunting who?
