Publisher's blue hardcover binding with illustrated dust jacket.
viii + 213pp. Illustrated.
'Every year up to £10,000,000 worth of diamonds were being smuggled out of Africa and Du Plessis was one of the team of men engaged by Sir Percy Sillitoe, on behalf of the diamond cartel, to combat this menace.
Du Plessis's experience of diamond smugglers as a South African policeman had left him with no illusions as to what would happen if they found out who he was. Once before, in South-West Africa, he had been beaten up and left for dead in the desert. One false move and this time they would make sure he was dead.
This amazing factual account of a man's campaign against some of the world's cleverest criminals is packed with incident. Some of the illegal operators the author comes up against are now behind bars but others are still free - to prove that diamonds are dangerous, to criminal and investigator alike.' - editor's note
