Arthur Forbes, Publisher and Managing Editor of the New York Herald Express and Staff Reporter Jason Scott were requested to be at the White House in Washington, D. C. the following morning to meet with the President of the United States for an important meeting. The year was 1944. Franklin D. Roosevelt explained to them that the United States would have to invade the Japanese homeland to end the war with Japan which would result in American casualties of at least one million men. Or he could sanction using a weapon that was more horrifying than any weapon ever created by man. He was referring to the atomic bomb which had recently been perfected and was ready to be made operational. Optimism ran high that the bomb would be a huge success and that it would end the war almost immediately. Roosevelt explained that it had been decided that the humane thing to do was to warn the Japanese what fate was in store for them. Forbes and Scott wondered how they could be of help to the president. The President of the United States was put in a position where he had to trust someone whom the Japanese respected and who could bring a highly secretive message to them. Scott was the logical choice. It was to be the beginning of a career that would catapult Scott into international fame and fortune.

The quiet young baseball prospect named Bobby Ellis seemingly came from nowhere to try out for the New Jersey Greys. But it quickly became clear that he could help the Greys challenge their arch rivals, the New York Yankees, in the 2005 pennant race. As Bobby Ellis became a fan favorite, broke records and seemed to be poised for a Hall of Fame career, baseball fans everywhere embraced his spirit and sportsmanship as he taught the world a lesson, on and off the field. But some people wanted to expose Ellis' secret—who was really inside that body, where he was really from, and his mission on Earth—while others wanted to snuff out his success, no matter what the cost.Set partly in Heaven but mostly on the baseball diamonds that have come to be dominated by dollars rather than sportsmanship, DIAMOND OF GREED evokes the tradition of baseball fantasies such as Field of Dreams, It Happens Every Spring and Damn Yankees.DIAMOND OF GREED mixes the ordinary with the extraordinary, the commonplace with the inexplicable, and offers an entertaining story with a tale that is, literally in this case, Heaven-sent.
