For millions of years, a bounty of unimaginable riches lay hidden deep within the scorched wastelands of the Namib desert. Diamonds. Some men cracked the earth to own them. Some men died. For ex soldier Jason Green, the job was unexpected but the brief was simple. At the most remote diamond mine in the world, something was wrong. Badly wrong. The insurance firm was deeply concerned. The running costs were enormous, the claims, numerous. What were the dark secrets that had been so carefully concealed? Secrets buried as deep as the glittering stones themselves.

Dante writes raw and personal stories about real people, husband and wife sharing, wife watching, BDSM, cuckold, swinger and fetish clubs, dogging, Asian wives, ladyboys, and many other fetishes.

Ex-Rhodesian soldier Jason Green was frustrated and mildly depressed. The winter in London had been long and bitterly cold. The steady work as a freelance insurance fraud investigator was mundane and repetitive. Then he is summoned to the offices of a wealthy investment banker. The brief: to ascertain the source of the unanticipated wealth of the man's high-flying young son. The time frame: urgent. The payout: enormous. This takes Green from the grimy streets of London to the beaches of Cape Town and ultimately to the dark tropical jungles of the spice island of Zanzibar. Intrigue, chaos, murder, betrayal, and revenge follow swiftly.

The dying man jerked and then collapsed. His body twitched, and then lay still. The Lama nodded again to the acolyte, who touched flame to the third stick of incense. "Spirit now released from the suffering body," said the Lama, "pay attention before setting out on your journey; pay attention for I shall detail to you the steps you must take, and the path you must follow..." The fourth stick of incense was lit, and the smoke trailed upwards, as if it had been drawn in blue-gray chalk, straight as a pillar in the almost airless room...
