Relic Runner: Books 1-3
(2024)(A book in the Relic Runner series)
An omnibus of novels by Ernest Dempsey
THE ANTIQUITIES BLACK MARKET HAS A NEW REPO MAN
This digital box set contains the first three books in the pulse-pounding Relic Runner series featuring former Delta Force operator Dak Harper:
The Courier
After the ultimate betrayal by his brothers-in-arms, Dak Harper hasn’t stopped moving for months. Some of the same soldiers who left him for dead in the Middle East still want his head. And as long as Dak's alive, they know they will never be safe.
Fate intervenes when an eccentric young millionaire offers Dak an unusual job. The catch? His first assignment is to recover a priceless artifact that's in the possession of the most feared cartel boss in Peru.
Two Nights In Mumbai
It seemed like a great way to bank some cash: travel to exciting destinations on his boss’ dime, and keep under the radar of some very bad men trying to kill him.
But Dak has traded one deadly set of problems for another. He might be making bank in his new career, but each country he visits is chock full of entirely new groups of heavily armed men aiming to stop his work and put him in a body bag. Dak might have traded his combat fatigues for jeans and trainers, but he’s still getting shot at for money.
Now in India to save a stolen idol and rescue the Mumbai museum curator protecting it, he’s got to duck Russian mobsters, sidestep an Indian casino boss who wants more than just his time, and distract a local police force who seems to be as incompetent as they are clueless.
Country Roads
After the artifacts disappear, and a mysterious murder, Dak Harper arrives on the scene to solve both.
His boss, an eccentric young millionaire with a passion for antiquities, has sent him to North Carolina to retrieve the artifacts--a set of Civil War pistols stolen from a museum. The legendary Samuel Colt made the guns for President Abraham Lincoln, but now they've vanished, and Dak only has a short window of time to find them before they're gone forever.
As he tracks his quarry, Dak learns a Southern tycoon’s interests stretch much further than stolen weapons. Turns out he’s holding an entire town hostage at the center of a sprawling crime syndicate. And innocent townsfolk are dying.
Armed with few weapons of his own, Dak must somehow fight through a county full of crooked cops and deadly mercenaries to erase a tyrant whose greed is matched only by his cruelty.
Only then can he find the guns, rescue the town, and maybe save himself.
