Summary:
A ruthless global cabal of financial investors plans to manipulate the price of gold on the world market -- by sabotaging one of South Africa's top gold mines and flooding it with millions of gallons of water. All they need is someone to take the blame. Manager Rod Slater seems the perfect choice. He's brash, rough and impulsive -- just the sort of man to make a fatal mistake. As Slater embarks on an affair with Terry, the heiress granddaughter of mine owner Hurry Hirschfeld, the conspiracy tightens all around him and thousands of lives hang by a thread.
