The Harbinger
(An exiled black revolutionary leader escapes from police ...)
An exiled black revolutionary leader escapes from police surveillance in Botswana. A white labor union leader is found murdered in the “Blacks Only” lounge of the Port Elizabeth train station. A high-ranking government official is activated by a foreign power after sixteen years as a “sleeper” agent. An American arms dealer assembles a shipment of weapons destined for a South African gold mining company. Each of these seemingly disparate events leads Homicide Detective Nigel Mansell to an ingenious plot to infiltrate the extraordinarily rich South African diamond mining system and to instigate a long-overdue revolution against that country’s tyrannical government.

In the year 313 B.C, the ancient Persian city of Karmin-Yar was destroyed by an immense earthquake that reshaped the coast of the Black Sea. Buried in the wreckage was a century’s worth of Persian gold. More than 2,000 years later, this vast fortune is the target of an ingenious plot set in motion by some of Europe’s most influential political leaders, but American archeologist Stephen Kaine discovers that the ultimate aim of this group is control of the region’s ultra-lucrative heroin trade.

Quotations:
"Most of us think of art and fiction more or less in the same breath – the writing of great fiction most certainly being an art – but let’s put this obvious connection on the back burner for the moment."
"You don’t just wake up one morning and call yourself an artist. No more than you do a writer. Picking up a paintbrush and standing in front of canvas doesn’t make you an artist."
Membership
Graham is a member of the Author’s Guild, Authors League of America and Colorado Authors League.
Personality
Mark Graham’s novels The Harbinger (1989), The Missing Sixth (1992), and The Fire Theft (1993) may all fit under the rubric of the “hard-boiled detective” narrative, but they also offer a much broader appeal. Reviewers have noted Graham’s extensive research into eclectic aspects of forensics, as well as his vivid presentation of information relevant to his police procedurals. Additionally, his skill in blending the worlds of art, history, and international intrigue adds richness to a genre that can easily become formulaic.

Connections
