John Stamp is a working author and former special agent. John joined The Protectors Podcast™ to talk about his book BLOOD RED IVORY, old school movies, who would play his protagonist, and a ton more.
About BLOOD RED IVORY: Tyrone Benhoff is in purgatory. That’s what agents call it when they find themselves on the wrong side of command and are transferred to a place like Djibouti, Africa. He tried to open a case in Virginia that was too close to the wrong people. Now he’s being watched for even the slightest screw-up so his enemies at headquarters can drive him out of the agency.
About John: John Stamp is a former Special Agent who served both in the FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Prior to federal law enforcement, he served as a Police Officer for the City of Charleston Police Department, Charleston, SC.
