Death by The Diamond

His story bore the cadence of a fairy tale. Raised in abject poverty, deep in the densely wooded forests of rural Zimbabwe, Hector Zenda is not destined for much in a country toiling under an economy in freefall. He lives off the dumps of Joburg until a twist of fate changes his fortunes dramatically. Those who saw him years later, jet set, sipping on French Cheval Blanch and nibbling at fancy hors d’oeuvres or sunbathing on a $60 million superyacht off the sunny coast of the Virgin Islands, knew nothing of this lowly and rustic past. The source of his vast wealth became fodder for local gossip. The results of a random health check-up suddenly changes the course of his life. Ailing and hoping to save himself from shards of purgatory he decides to write his memos. The memos that would reveal the mystery behind his wealth and finger corrupt government officials and certain mob bosses. It becomes a cat and mouse game as he races to finish his memos before they silence him.
