Rough Diamond – Rough Justice by Avien Gray takes readers on an international thrill ride of espionage, betrayal, and redemption, delivering a story tailor-made for fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Ian Fleming’s James Bond, and Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne.
At its heart is Cain, a former MI5 agent turned extra-judicial enforcer, who leaves behind the world of intelligence for a fresh start, only to be dragged back into the shadows of global intrigue. From the sunlit coastlines of Australia to the high-stakes diamond trade in Florida, and from the gritty underworlds of South Africa to the tense betrayals of China, Cain’s story pulses with action, dark glamour, and moral ambiguity. Alongside him is Jerry, his steadfast best friend and a Royal Protection Officer, whose loyalty and camaraderie bring depth and humanity to a world defined by violence and secrecy.
Inspired by true events, Rough Diamond – Rough Justice is more than an adrenaline-fueled thriller, it is a character-driven exploration of loyalty, loss, and the price of survival. Unlike many action heroes, Cain’s struggle is not just against his enemies but against his own conflicted conscience, torn between the desire for a normal life and the inescapable demands of his past.
