Sinossi
Nell'animo avventuroso di Harry Fletcher abita un sogno tranquillo: una casa sulla riva del mare, una barca, e un po' di pace nelle caldi notti tropicali della piccola isola di St. Mary, la «perla dell'oceano Indiano». Ma per realizzare il suo desiderio Harry deve venire a patti con un suo vecchio nemico, lo stesso che lo ha spinto in passato a diventare mercenario in Vietnam, in Congo, in Biafra e a trasformarsi addirittura in assassino: il denaro. E non c'è dubbio che Charly Materson e Mike Guthrie, clienti di Harry e del suo yacht da pesca Wave Dancer, siano ricchi (anche troppo) e interessati a una caccia grossa che non ha nulla a che fare con gli enormi squali che si aggirano intorno alle foci fangose e rossastre del Mozambico. Tuttavia il favoloso tesoro che i due uomini stanno per scoprire negli abissi dell'oceano è grande almeno quanto la crudeltà efferata che li possiede e che costringerà Harry, in un vertiginoso capovolgimento di fronte, a trasformarsi da cacciatore a preda indifesa. Preda della paura, della violenza imprevedibile di cicloni devastanti, della passione letale nei confronti di una donna per la quale sentimento e cupidigia sono due facce della stessa medaglia...

I think most of the Bangladeshi readers, who are into thriller have read this treasure in form of "I love you, man" by Qazi Anwar Hossain. A total gem of a book. If you like treasure hunting and action-adventure, this is the one.

This is a rollicking good story. Fast action, great story, and all you could want in an easy to read book. Wilbur Smith does it again. I really enjoyed this one. I certainly had not figured everything out till the last minute. Maybe you can. Read it, I think you'll enjoy it.
