Publisher's Synopsis
Published by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS Classic Imprint RED GOLD Guy Lucan is assigned to investigate rail freight business on the original Cecil Rhodes 'Cape to Cairo' railway. Copper is the bedrock of the cargo running over the three thousand kilometre corridor to Indian Ocean ports for export. Smuggling the Red Gold out of the interior and evading government taxes has been a petty criminal activity for years but when an organised Chinese crime syndicate systematically moves tonnes illegally, murder and kidnap is added to their crimes. Beguiling twin sisters divert Guy Lucan's attention and he becomes the target of the Hong Kong triad who plan his execution. He only escapes from the 'Heart of Darkness' by an unlikely combination of chance circumstances. Guy Lucan's role as railway investigator again becomes a mix of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond as he follows the Red Gold trail!
