Managing the world's richest diamond mine in former German South
West Africa, Harvey Tremayne clashes with a colonial resistance
group, intent on restoring their homeland. They smuggle diamonds
destined for the Nazi military rearmament programme. Tremayne got
in their way. They killed his wife. Driven by revenge, his hunt for
them takes him to places even more dangerous than the terror-filled
trenches of his WW1 service. He's drawn into the shadowy world of
British Secret Intelligence, who are hunting the same enemy but for
a different reason. Amid sizzling tensions, days before World War 2
is declared, the web of intrigue and murder he uncovers stretches
from Tangier to the diamond-rich Forbidden Zone in the blistering
Namib Desert. This land is merciless and treats the hunter and the
hunted with equal contempt. And offshore, the icy sea guards the
land with its own deadly secrets. Brought alive by a vibrant
backdrop and warts-and-all characters, this fast-paced action
thriller delivers from the start until its startling and dramatic
finale
