Publisher's Synopsis
An underground gold mine in remote east Kimberley is flooded just eight days after striking the richest seam the mine has seen in two generations. With mounting debts, the mine is forced to close before going into administration. Stirling Cooper leads a quest to resurrect the abandoned mine, but he is forced into an unlikely alliance with nefarious local bon vivant, Karl Deperne. With work to salvage the mine barely underway, Deperne forces Hooper to hijack a charter flight carrying nearly half a ton of gold from Matalinka. However, the heist is only the beginnings of Cooper's troubles.
