About This Item
First edition, first impression. Signed by the author to a bookplate affixed to the title page.
Original black cloth with lettering in gilt and motif in silver to spine. A very good book indeed with some spotting to top edge, browning to front endpaper and a previous owner sticker to bottom corner of front paste-down.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has some moderate wear to edges with a crease to top corner of rear flap and a couple of tape repairs to verso.
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…
