Ashanti Gold 

Colin Grant needs to disappear fast. With the police on his trail, a visit to his uncle in Ghana suddenly seems like a great idea. No more crime, no more jail, no more hassle. Until he visits the richest gold mine in West Africa . . . It’s 1970s London and Glaswegian Colin Grant is finally free. After four years at Her Majesty’s pleasure, Colin needs to make up for lost time. But when his firm’s next robbery goes badly wrong, he knows it’s time to move on — fast. In Africa, Colin finds a new way of life and new friends. But, as he soon discovers, it’s a land of unbelievable and almost irresistible riches. And all he has to do is work out how to fly a planeload of gold out of the country without anyone — especially Major Judas Akaba — finding out. Ashanti Gold is a compelling, fast-paced adventure with a golden prize too good to resist.
