The Darkest Pool by Mort Hunter

When Frank Rex parked his old Toyota, he had no idea that his accidental meeting with Etienne Von Battenburg would join them together in a deadly battle against Kristina and the Germania Group. Frank is an Associate – a group of modern-day Robin Hood led by Blackjack. They use the 'Dark Pool' to avenge evil. 

In multiple narratives, “The Darkest Pool” tells the story of the startling events surrounding Rudolf Diesel’s murder in 1913. Johnny Coleman’s diary tells of German South West Africa in 1915 and the genocide of the Herero people. Then there is the mystery of the submarine that runs on sea water. 

About the Author: Mort was born in Hamilton, Scotland in 1945. At the age of seven the family immigrated to Cape Town. Mort lives in Cape Town with his wife and best friend Margot, and a dog called Zippy.

Mort always wanted to write full time. His years in the import/export field provided the raw material for his writing. The characters, places and the coffee. Mort loves fly fishing and Frank, his main character, appeared in my early fishing stories.

Mort's writing blends historical facts and adventure into a riveting read, after all, he writes for his readers.
