'From the wilds of Tasmania's south-west in the 1880s to the boardroom of New York bankers in the 1990s and back again.

'Follow Paul Walker and his fiancée Carol in a dramatic, fast-moving journey as they try to unravel the mystery of the lost gold reef of Frank Timbs and the devastating murder of six innocent men at the Rosebery Mine in 1962.

'The blame lay with Paul's father, Dave. But was he really responsible?

'Each mystery leads Paul and Carol to even more questions and skulduggery culminating in a desperate battle to survive the combination of a crazed killer and the equally deadly vagaries of western Tasmania's terrain and weather.

'Although written as a work of fiction, some events in this book are based on actual events and people. It reflects the ever-present power struggles and corruption found in seemingly responsible company boardrooms and the lengths to which some people will go in their quest for wealth and power.'
