Cobra Gold

By Damien Lewis

Book Overview

A rogue band of SAS commandos rob a bank in war-torn Beirut-and return decades later to find the gold-in this military thriller based on a true story.

Beirut, 1976. As war ravages the country, an unknown band of armed men blast their way into the Imperial Bank of Beirut. Over the next forty-eight hours, they load three trucks with gold bullion and then disappear without a trace.

Two weeks earlier, a new SAS Major had tasked his men with planning such a Beirut bank robbery-strictly as an exercise. But when veteran Luke Kilbride has his heist plan rejected as "useless," he decides to prove the Major wrong by pulling the job off for real. The heist goes perfectly . . . until it doesn't. Kilbride and his men are forced to hide the loot and make their getaway.

Thirty years later, Kilbride and his team are planning their return. The only problem is that a powerful enemy is hell-bent on finding the gold before they do. Kilbride dreams up an audacious mission, and the race is on to reach the gold before the ruthless Black Assassins can catch up with them.
