Golden Spanner

The Golden Spanner is a dramatic human saga of the lives of Brian and Julie, from their exciting escapes from Singapore to Brian’s heroic Air Force career and his infidelity. He becomes involved with Mario Cidini during and after the Second World War, while building up his business to the point of near collapse. Drawn into Mario’s scheme to export stolen gold, Brian seeks his old friend Bill Brady, who is in charge of intelligence. Learning that the main mission is the importation of drugs, which Brian finds abhorrent, they plan Mario’s downfall. This leads to a hair-raising chase through the Pacific Islands where nearly all their team members, including Julie, are kidnapped.Hill-Smith, Ian is the author of 'Golden Spanner ', published 2004 under ISBN 9781933449258 and ISBN 193344925X.
