Harry Fletcher has made a comfortable new life on St Mary's Island, taking wealthy visitors fishing in the waters of the Mozambique Channel. His boat, his friends and the island's beauty seem to offer a welcome distance from the violence of his past. Then an unusual charter party arrives with instructions that suggest its members know more about Harry than they should. Drawn into a hunt for a fortune beneath the sea, he finds himself facing men whose greed leaves little room for mercy. The legendary Great Mogul diamond promises an irresistible reward, but every alliance carries a risk. Wilbur Smith combines sea adventure, hidden treasure and betrayal in a thriller about a man discovering how difficult it can be to leave an old life behind.
