In an attempt to escape Frank’s intrusive presence, Cal pursues a different kind of freedom in the world’s wild spaces, prospecting for gold and precious minerals everywhere from the heat of the desert at the Mexican border to the Alaskan chill, to central Africa, and Colombian mines where he will meet the love of his life, Vida. Soon he is dripping in wealth, his pockets full of gold nuggets and emeralds, but the money means far less to him than his independence. To Frank, however, “Cash is king.” As Cal’s success grows, so too does Frank’s power and his influence in Cal’s affairs, the devastating threat he creates at the center of his little brother’s life. And, ultimately, when Frank decides to commit the ultimate betrayal…Cal is left with only one, final solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew writers have as keen an eye for human nature as the inimitable Paul Theroux, and this riveting tale of adventure, betrayal, and the true cost of family bonds is an unmissable new work from one of America’s most distinguished and beloved novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\"The fierce rivalry between two siblings comes laden with jealousy, betrayal and an almost mythic lust for vengeance...Theroux is at his masterly best.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times  Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Theroux draws on his travel writing prowess to follow his protagonist from the Mexican border to the chill of Alaska, from Central Africa to Colombia, uncovering a devastating threat that culminates in the ultimate plan for murder....a chilling psychological novel.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHonolulu Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This novel is one for the ages.”  - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookreporter.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Theroux (\u003cem\u003eThe Mosquito Coast\u003c\/em\u003e) cranks the nastiness to 11 in this powerful tale of a decades-long sibling rivalry….Theroux plays skillfully on reader sympathies until the bitter end, showing how a man’s beliefs can make him turn to violence.
