Carbon Copy

This the third book about veteran journalist Mike Noble and his photographer assistant Liz McKendrick is about the dangerous world of diamond smuggling. On holiday in Palma Mallorca they hear about the death at Gatwick Airport in England of a holiday rep and they are soon involved in following the trail of uncut diamonds from the river beds of Angola through North Africa to the island of Mallorca itself. Anna Charles' research for this book took her into the realms of so-called Conflict Diamonds which compromise international peace and human security as well as hampering economic and social development in affected countries.
