The Disgraced Advocate

The Disgraced Advocate.

The story is about Jack Wright, a bright, quick thinking advocate who stood his ground, no-matter what. At a young age Jack's mother regaled her son with yarns about his great, great grandfather Jack, his namesake who fled on the first boat sailing out of London docks to the new world, in the seventeenth century.
Two centuries later Jack, at the age of thirty-two and now a leading barrister in the high courts of England, finally succumbs to the tales of the past and travels to Africa, to walk in the shoes of his mentor. In Cape Town Jack meets Emma Hamilton, daughter of an MIF undercover agent. Her father spent his life being one step ahead of organised crime, until one fateful day when he made his first mistake, which had disastrous repercussions for both Emma and him.
Emma and Jack became close friends, and together they develop a love for the sea and sailing. This passion is exploited by their enemy, who manipulate their obsession to suit their own purpose. The couple, talked into a romantic voyage to an island off Africa, are unaware that Jack's legal background and Emma's father's history are about to place them on a collision course with the underworld.
This fictitious story is fast moving and takes the reader into a smuggling organisation that controls the elicit trading in diamonds, rock lobster and abalone. At the outbreak of war between freedom fighters and the governments of the former colonial countries in Africa, the cartel stretches its tentacles to take control of the illegal trading in weapons of war.
