Like 'moths to a candle' this tantalising legend attracts unwanted attention from a ruthless organisation, the 'Syndicate' as well as other dangerous individuals who as 'Gold Fever' spreads like an virulent disease will go to any extremes to get their hands on the treasure.

Working with an elite Government Agency, dedicated and un-corruptible Alex Scott has done battle with the Syndicate before and sees the current situation an opportunity to destroy them once and for all.

The plot thickens and treachery from within Alex's team almost brings his own career to an abrupt end.

All seems lost until Alex Scot's own cunning and amoral skills can finally be fully employed, ensuring that the mounting body count between good and evil becomes more evenly balanced.
