The orchid seller J D Bunyard

A rare orchid; a shoot out onboard a luxury yacht; and a case containing over three and a half million pounds worth of diamonds. For the past four years, former Lieutenant Commander of the British Navy, and family man, Roy Lowe has been running his own business; selling rare and exotic orchids. The career path has enabled him to travel the world, seemingly rubbing shoulders with some of the most wealthy and influential figures out there. However, all is not how it appears, as his actions and his movements have made him a person of interest, with both Interpol and MI6. Unaware that his actions are being watched, the story begins with Roy set to fly out on yet another business trip, this time to Gibraltar, carrying with him a rare orchid known as the ghost orchid. Valued at nearly half a million, Roy is looking for this to be his last sale, as the time spent travelling the world has caused him to spend little time at home with the family. Yet nothing is what it seems as things quickly get out of hand, as while in Gibraltar he learns of Interpol's interest, perceiving him to be the elusive diamond smuggler, who's known only by his alias.
