After serving a four-year jail sentence for robbery, Colin Grant emerges a changed man, with a past he'd rather forget. Unable to go back to his old life, Colin decides it's time for a change of scene and sets off to visit his Uncle George in Africa for a good, long holiday. No more crime, no more jail, no more hassle. But when George takes him on a visit to the richest gold mine in West Africa, it's just the start of an adventure that could end in either unbelievable riches or certain death. "Ashanti Gold" is a pure, unbridled adventure novel. A fast-paced, exciting page-turner, it's also based on a true story and marks a welcome addition to the thriller genre in the style of Wilbur Smith and Clive Cussler, with a twist.
