Frontier Gold

Set in the turbulent borderlands of Zimbabwe and Mozambique during the final years of white rule and the birth of an independent Zimbabwe, Frontier Gold is a gripping historical thriller in which greed, politics and violence collide beneath the red earth. A chance discovery of gold in a remote frontier zone is made—and buried in secrecy for years—until events force it back into the open.

Grounded in authentic mining practice, regional history and the brutal realities of the time, Frontier Gold plunges the reader into a world of armed insurrection and corruption, where a porous frontier breeds lawlessness and lethal mining ventures thrive beyond the reach of authority. As gold is torn from the earth and power shifts hands, the characters are forced to confront how much blood, loyalty and conscience they are willing to trade for buried wealth.

Blending historical realism with relentless suspense, Frontier Gold explores how gold can transform lives—sometimes enriching them, often destroying them—and asks the enduring question: what is the true cost of striking it rich?
