Diamonds, Danger and Deadly Betrayal in War-Torn Congo
The fourth of the Pascoe Saga traces the origins of Chrissy Coates. When the Democratic Republic of Congo explodes into a brutal civil war, the nation's vast mineral riches become a searing cauldron of violence and greed. Mercenaries, rebels and corporate rogues wage a merciless battle for control, with the fate of the country and its people hanging in the balance.
Caught in the crossfire are mining magnate Alex Drummond and diamond sorter Chrissy Coates. As their lives become inextricably entangled in the bloody conflict, everything they've built, everyone they've loved, is threatened with annihilation by the raging forces bent on claiming Congo's treasure by any means necessary.
This is the real Africa, far from sheltered game reserves and sanitized safari tours. The Crystal Gazer rips away illusions to reveal a harsh, uncompromising world where human lives are cheap commodities to the merchants of war and masters of exploitation.
With unflinching realism and masterful suspense, this novel plunges you into the pulsating heart of the Congo's "diamond wars." Prepare to be utterly consumed by a labyrinth of betrayal, conspiracy and unspeakable carnage as the pursuit of wealth triggers a conflagration that could consume a nation.
For readers ravenous for stories of uncompromising grit and authenticity, The Crystal Gazer delivers a relentlessly gripping thrill ride through the chaos, corruption and untold horrors underlying one of the world's most precious gemstones.
