About This Item
London: Hutchinson, 1974. First British edition and first printing. Hardcover. The third book, another thriller, from the author of "The Day of the Jackal." The basis for a movie with Tom Berenger and Christopher Walken. A clean close to near fine copy with a bit of bumping to the base of the spine, some toning to the endpapers from the flaps of the dust jacket and a previous owner's rubberstamp name to the front free endpaper in a near fine price clipped dust jacket with some minor edge wear.
Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestselling author Frederick Forsyth delivers an international thriller that takes readers into the darkest hearts of men and nations… In a remote corner of the impoverished African republic of Zangaro lies Crystal Mountain. At certain times of the day, the mountain itself seems to glow with a strange light. Only the ruthless and untouchable tycoon Sir James Manson knows why: the mountain contains billions of dollars worth of the world’s most valuable mineral—platinum. And he wants it all. To do so, he must first remove the unfriendly government currently in power and replace it with a puppet regime. Towards this end, Manson hires the deadly Cat Shannon and his team of mercenaries to do the dirty work. But he didn’t realize how bloody things were going to get. And when he betrays the mercenaries to a brutal fate, he doesn’t realize how far Shannon is willing to go for revenge…
