by Desmond Bagley ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 8, 1964
A chest containing Mussolini's gold and jewels almost becomes a coffin for those engaged in retrieving it from the mine shaft where some Foreign Legion members buried it at the end of the war. It's a reckless attempt that sets out to retrieve the loot -- suspected by everyone, they also suspect each other. When they finally recover the ingots, their problem is how to smuggle the wealth away by boat. This story of fool's gold provides some 14 carat excitements.
