What Readers Say

"This is a very well-written, thoroughly researched, wholly original novel of intrigue and suspense. Your extensive background in the mining industry lends a level of realism and historical accuracy to the story that is both impressive and has an educational aspect to it. The characters are well thought-out and interesting, with Matthew striking me as a charming every-man version of a James Bond–type character, with his sly wit and easy way with the ladies. Nancy is an excellent nemesis, while Big Ted (Shi-Ted) and Nick are great in their roles as her sidekicks. Emma is coyly intriguing and a delightful character, and the whole Stockman clan has an enigmatic air."

"A brilliant read, filled with conspiracy, colorful characters, places and descriptions..."

"The Golden Handcuffs is a complex novel revolving around corporate and financial intrigue during the late 1990’s. The novel’s global scale is impressive as it moves from Hong Kong to Peru’s capital city and a small rebel camp in the Peruvian wilderness, as well to a Canadian mining camp and Colorado locales. The author provides plentiful information about each setting, especially concerning Peru’s political situation with then-President Fujimori."
