Goldhaven is after the biggest pink stone in the world. Zog Shikzahl is after Goldhaven. And Boss Macquarie is after his cut. But what on earth is an accountant from Hull after, heading upriver into the biggest white patch on the map?

Nothing is what it seems in Marlow’s Landing, a tale of double-crossing smugglers and best-laid plans. And by the time you’ve figured out you’re being played for a fool, it’s too late to turn back . . .

Reviews

Irish Times
Echoes of Graham Greene, and of course, Joseph Conrad . . . A modern day homage from a writer of promise
The Times
Vieira's first novel is economical, accomplished and assured; he dives into the story without wasting a word on the set-up, and the pace is fast but never rushed
The Spectator
A certain sort of male novelist will always aspire to be Joseph Conrad . . . Toby Vieira's entertaining, globe-hopping debut tale of diamond smugglers wears its debt to the great man on its sleeve notes
Guardian
Toby Vieira's voice in his first novel is fully formed: vivid and vigorous, laconic but chaotic
The Spectator
An entertaining, globe-hopping debut tale of diamond smugglers
Times Literary Supplement
Fresh . . . replete with Conradian echoes . . . pleasing and hardboiled immediacy
