The Innocent Man Who Broke the Law — James R. Berry

When Jake completes his engineering project in a diamond-laden country, he finds smuggled diamonds among his luggage in his hotel room in London. Knowing it is the work of a smuggling cartel whose efforts have gone awry, he ponders how they have come into his possession. Instead of turning the contraband over to the authorities, he chooses to keep the diamonds and use their value to build a hospital in the country they came from. To accomplish this he must stay one-step ahead of the violent smugglers and enlist others to help. Two beautiful women come into his life, a barrister, who is a devout Anglican, the other, a prodigal like himself. One shows him the legal consequences of keeping the contraband, the other markets the diamonds making millions for the hospital project. Both women have interest in him for different reasons, and Jake uses their interest to promote his noble efforts in keeping the diamonds for the greater good, but will their loyalty outweigh his legal jeopardy?
