-The right man for the wrong place

Water. It promises to be to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th...and some people will do anything to control it.

When investigative journalist Lachlan Fox blows open the story of the decade, simmering tensions between India and Pakistan hit boiling point. 

A continent's water - liquid gold - s at stake and one man thinks nothing of a potential all-out war when there is money to be made.

Before helpless millions die, Fox is determined to expose the corrupt Umbra Corporation and the man behind it, to the world. With hefty prices on their heads, Fox and his trusted man-at-arms, Al Gammaldi, are pitted against time and a ruthless web of terrorist cells, rogue secret agents and dirty money. Flanked by news agency GSR and the FBI, Fox and Gammaldi are going to give as good as they get, but nothing can preparethem for the ferocity of this fight.

Fox knows that the truth alone triumphs...and it's going to hurt.

Gold Coast (Nelson DeMille)


Gold Coast
Nelson DeMille

Blurb: Long Island is upmarket and salubrious. It's the stamping ground for a dying breed of America's super-rich. It's also the residence of top-drawer layer John Sutter - old money, right clubs - and his sensual wife, Susan.

When a new neighbour arrives on the block, their lives are turned dramatically upside down. For the des-res suburb becomes the home of Mr Frank Bellarosa, top Mafia don and manipulator. It is he who will impress upon them a rule much older than the archaic etiquette of the old-money set: a favour accepted is a favour owed.
