What a fabulous story! As the story unfolds we are introduced to the four main characters … learning about their lives, their personalities and their dreams. Then we watch as the four of them mix and mingle as the plot comes together..
We first meet Jason as a young boy…as he torments his younger brother and then watches as he breaks through the ice and drowns. Catching up to him 50 years later Jason has become a very successful developer both in the UK and in his new home in Spain.
Declan is a nasty bully and ex-pat Irish man now living in Spain. His haulage business involves smuggling people, drugs and weapons. He is not adverse to extreme violence and killing anyone who crosses him.
Nick is a notable geologist specializing in Rare Earth mining. He is affiliated with a University in Australia as an expert lecturer and is a top ranked consultant to rare earth mining companies from around the world. He now lives in Spain with a Spanish wife who specializes in Internet installations and consulting.
Lauren, a young Australian in her early twenties is in Wales to get her MSc in Geology and Business Management. She grew up in the outback of Australia – her parents own a sheep ranch and small gold mining operation. COVID has hit them hard and they are struggling to keep the operation viable.
What I really loved about this book is how the author intricately sets up the plot as each of the characters starts interacting with the others.
Jason and Declan start with a small real estate deal that escalates into a bigger and riskier investment.
An overheard conversation draws Nick into the fold. Against his better judgment he first gets involved with Jason and then Declan.
Lauren, happens upon information in an unprotected file created by Nick on a university website. She immediately sees the possibilities and at the same time realizes that something “hinky” and possibly illegal is going on.
Rare Earth elements are exactly that … RARE. They are extremely lucrative and competitive. To put it in perspective … a rare earth mining operation can pay off 10, 20 or MORE times that of a gold mine.
Nick and Lauren have NO idea how dangerous the men they are engaging with are. Every step of the way, they are at risk.
You will LOVE this book.
The plot is intricate and exciting. While you might guess the direction the story is going, the beauty is in the details and the personalities involved. I ended up racing to the VERY satisfying ending loooooooong after midnight.
I now have a new “must read” author on my list. If you love thrillers and a GOOD READ be sure to get this book!
