Diamonds are a girl's best friend. If your name was Barnato, they were your best friends as well. This is one of the great power struggles of the last 150 years.
You'll be taken to the diamond mines of South Africa. You'll be wrapped up in an unsolved death and you'll learn how one family rose to prominence in the race for gold and diamonds.
Lust. Murder. Deceit. Riches. Diamonds are forever. Happiness isn't.
What Readers Say
“This is a fascinating account of religion, power, wealth, deceit and colonisation of Kimberley, South Africa. It is centred around the life of Barney Barnato, relatively unknown outside of South Africa. He was one third of 'The Big Three' nineteenth-century mining entrepreneurs, along with Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit.”
