Isabella Courtney, dazzling daughter of South Africa's ambassador to England, is passionately obsessed with Ramon, the Marques de Santiago y Machado--also known as the Golden Fox, one of the world's most ruthless terrorists.

About this title

Book Description:

An astonishing novel of adventure from one of the world's most celebrated novelists

From the Back Cover:

In the searing heat of a divided Africa, two decades of bitter dynastic conflict explode with terrifying ferocity. For Gary and Sean Courtney it is a struggle to the end, brother against brother, unaware that their battle is dragging them irresistibly into the lair of an international terrorist.

Only Isabella Courtney stands between them and the mutual destruction they have willed for so long. Beautiful, headstrong Isabella; the link to 'Golden Fox' - a man whose alias hides a sinister and deadly secret . . .

From the heart of London society to the grandeur of Spain, from parched Ethiopia to war-torn Angola and on to the blazing hunting grounds of South Africa and Zimbabwe, Golden Fox is an adventure of stirring, irresistible intensity.

'We are caught up in a broad historical sweep, nothing less than the destabilization of one entire continent . . . action is never further than the turn of a page' Independent
