About This Item
First edition first printing of this stand alone thriller. Made into the 1980 movie starring Christopher Walken and Tom Berenger. Three closed tears to the bottom edge of the dustjacket a 2 inch on the rear panel and a 1 inch and 1/2 inch on the front panel. Looks like someone took green marker and tried to dress up the heel of the spine and the two inch tear. All the tears have been tape repaired on the outside. Price clipped otherwise in very good / fair condition.
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…
