Extended description

The former SAS man turned probation officer little realised what was in store for him when he visited a dying prisoner – a former friend and confidant of the late King Farouk of Egypt – a visit that would change his destiny and send him on an action-packed Mediterranean sailing quest to recover priceless treasure once owned by the deposed King. Dogged by political intrigue, the mafia, and conspiratorial allies, this life-changing venture not only had the potential to make him very rich, but also forced him to come to terms with his long-term relationship with the only woman who had ever meant anything to him. The fabulous Fabergé Egg was his quarry, finding it was imperative – but at what cost?

Review by: Marianne Clarsen on May 16, 2012 :
What a great adventure, full of twists and turns, woven around sailing in the Med; something the author really seems to know about. It's a story of mystery and murder, sex and the sea, travel and treasure. It felt like I was there. I'd recommend it to armchair travellers as well as those with a passion for the sea. I reckon it would make a great movie.

Review by: lornemcd on April 14, 2012 :
When I read all the glowing five star reports on Amazon I was suspicious. However, it turned out to be one of the best reads I’ve had for a long time, and totally justifies the five stars earned. It was a page turner from beginning to end - I got so carried away with the plot I had to go back and read it again more slowly and in more detail, viewing the locations on the Internet and following the route on a map. The book resonates with authenticity: clearly the author has been to all these places and done all these things himself. Sailors will love the nautical detail, but those who get seasick on a pedalo needn't be put off by technicalities – it's an easy read. And just when you think you can relax and the end is just around the corner, the action starts all over again, with another twist of intrigue and rush of adrenaline.
This book is a compulsive read: I just wish the author had provided a map – not all the locations are viewable online – but that's not a criticism, just a comment – it still gets 5 stars!
