Edgar Wallace
In North Africa, a seasoned barrister turned politician finds himself tangled up in schemes of mining wealth, political maneuvering, and personal compromise. Amid the bustling markets of Tangier and the looming presence of colonial power, alliances form and fracture under the pressures of ambition and greed. Suspicion lingers as fortunes are staked on hidden reefs of gold, and reputations balance on the edge of scandal. A story of duplicity, chance, and calculated risk, Mr. Justice Maxell probles the dangers of trust when fortunes-and futures-are on the line.
