The heat is rising in Indonesia in this action-packed adventure by "the John D. MacDonald of espionage fiction" (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times).   When Joe Gall heads to Indonesia on an assignment to acquire a fortune in precious metals, he finds himself in the midst of an attempted coup and a civil war, a bloody battle fought by the military and the Communists. Now he has to guard something even more valuable than gold and silver--his own life--in this gripping thriller by the Edgar Award finalist.  "I admire Philip Atlee's writing tremendously." --Raymond Chandler
