The Darkest Pool

By Mort Hunter

An international action thriller of hidden gold, high-tech espionage, and political conspiracy Shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize (2107) In the shadows of Cape Town, South Africa, Frank Rex hides in plain sight--a retired math genius with a love of vintage motorcycles and wine. But behind his quiet exterior lies a master of dark pool trading and high-frequency financial warfare. When a stranger gifts him a rare bottle of wine and asks for a seemingly innocent signature, Frank is thrust into a web of intrigue that stretches across continents and decades--from buried Nazi gold in Namibia to secret submarine technology in Europe. What begins as a favour becomes a deadly race against time. A shadow group is rising from the ashes of history, and they'll stop at nothing to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs. The Darkest Pool is a gripping blend of modern espionage, historical mystery, and heart-pounding adventure.
