However, things change when one of the investors who stand to lose is Marco's own daughter. In order to retrieve the stolen gold, Marco and Michel must dive into the horrors and war of the DRC - the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where life is cheap and death hangs in the air like smoke. They must enter Hell. And with any luck, they will survive. A beautiful French agent, attempts against Marco's life before the companions even leave France, and questions of who the actual enemy is assure that this novel grabs your attention and never lets go. Author Erich Penhoff writes a vivid and graphic novel, depicting the harsh realities and politics that occur across borders and among mercenaries, as only one who has been there knows.
