Produktbeschreibung
Dieter Paesano exploits the greed of small business "entrepreneurs" operating on the fringes of the gold industry in Africa. They are attracted by any proposition, risky or not, which leverages their investment stake. However, Paesano is running out of projects, the financial returns are falling and the punters are getting restless. He resorts to strong-arm tactics to keep them compliant and puts his thuggish minder, Shorty to work. He ensures complaints reduce as investors disappear ... Fortuitously, a really exciting proposal comes across Paesano's desk, one that has been passed over by the major mining houses. Dr Richard Curie, a scientist of high industry repute has developed intellectual property that enables gold to be won from low value ore. The IP has been bench-tested, but requires further funding to prove its practicality. Paesano buys out Curie's interest on a "success only" basis. He teams Curie with another scientist and locks them away in a secret secure house to thwart competitors. It now seems unlikely that the dishonourable Paesano will complete his side of the deal. The scientists begin to fear for their lives as violence escalates ...
Autorenporträt
Ian Cordiner graduated as a Civil Engineer at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. There was growing political unrest in South Africa and he soon left for the UK to work on major construction projects. Then, in his thirties, he made a significant career change, joining a leading international business consultancy and migrating to Australia. This move away from engineering was the foundation for decades of business consulting and restructuring advice that led to general management, governance and change management roles in six widely different organisations. He has previously written a memoir, The Accidental Headhunter, a thoughtful, yet lighthearted, look at risk and coincidence as they have impacted on his life and those six careers. With such a diverse portfolio of experience, an approach from Richard King to set up a new headhunting firm (Cordiner King) was risky, but attractive. The firm operated successfully for over 25 years, playing an important part in an affiliation of some fifty international firms. Ian was elected one of that group's ten-member Board. Ten years ago Ian 'retired' to provide governance advice to a number of corporate and government business enterprises.
