Empress Gold

Empress Gold

Both keys slid in unopposed. Both locks operated first time - lifting the heavy lid took all of Lee's strength. From inside the box the accumulated wealth of twenty years stared up at him. Though he had seen it a hundred times before, under that yellow glare from his cap lamp the buttery glint of raw metal took his breath away... For over two decades, the Goddards have struggled through the uncertainties of war, political upheaval and now, faced with mounting pressure from a corrupt government, they are forced to make decisions that will change their lives forever. As Managing Director of the Empress Deep gold mine, Lee Goddard rolls into play the final ball of an already dangerous game. Fostered by rampant avarice and political uncertainty, life in Zimbabwe is worthless - only the elite survive. For a fortune in gold and tribal treasures, some are willing to sell the very soul of an emergent country.
