This leads to the discovery of an extremely rich vein of Blue Diamonds that Jack Murray develops into a small but successful mining company with the assistance of a well known diamond producer. Listing on the Australian Stock Exchange sees the company’s fortunes rapidly grow and provide a rich return to investors. Receiving an offer too good to refuse, Jack sells out to a South African venture organization that has disastrous results in its attempts to increase production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith persuasion from disgruntled investors, Jack buys back the company at a rock bottom price that includes a lease to a diamond mine in the turbulent African country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With his partner, Jack relocates to the eastern regions of the troubled DRC and re-opens the mine with the help of untrained but enthusiastic local workers. Conflict soon erupts with rebel leaders from neighbouring Rwanda that threatens the lives of all involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Hardham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073199882480,"sku":"2940033238330","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940033238330_p0.jpg?v=1763658821","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940033238330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
