Review: "Inside cover writing about the book (not my own)."

The following is an extract from the inside front cover of the book. "From the savage veld of Southern Africa to the glittering high society of Capetown, a specter haunts the descendants of Reuben Woolf. Woolf, the founder of an immense fortune in diamonds centered around the fabled Auber Mine, was brutally murdered by a band of marauding natives at the turn of the century, natives who claimed to have been guided by a tall white man with silver hair and glowing eyes. In passing on his wealth to succeeding generations, Woolf seemed to have passed on a vengeful curse as well. Reporter Ben Dryden, researching a conventional background story on the inner workings of a financial monolith, uncovers a trail of mysterious events that leads him back three generations. He begins to piece together unexplained deaths and accidents into a pattern reaching to the present day, from a time when desperate men scraped for wealth in the soil of a land contested by fierce Matabele tribesmen and even fiercer Boers, to a modern era in which savagery is barely masked by the trappings of power. The truth, when it comes does so in an orgy of violence that will leave many shaken. Filled with passion, courage, and heartbreak, THE HUNTED is a memorable, action-filled novel of unrelenting suspense."
