About This Book
SNAKE WATER:
A fortune in raw diamonds lay hidden somewhere in the poisonous swamps of the South American jungle. Three neurotic male adventurers and a cool, reliable British blonde set off across South American banana republic in search of them. Greed lures them into a living green hell of giant carnivorous crabs, swamps, deserts, snakes, volcanoes, rival desperadoes ? these are only a few of the hazards to be faced. The combination is lethal and violence quickly breaks out.

Before that, he was involved in die Hungarian Revolution, and masqueraded his way into East Germany when that country was virtually closed.

His first-hand experience of adventure and intrigue was put to superb use in his highly successful novels.
