Product Description:
Ferocity takes on a new meaning when it comes to Derek VenrayÂ’s solution for the dilemma facing the DeBoar Diamond Empire. If Derek is ever to become a member of DeBoarÂ’s inner circle, it is up to him to preserve the illusion that diamonds are rare gems. When a concealed cache of diamonds worth more than 150 billion dollars is about to be offered on the open market, the threat to the DeBoars is seen as catastrophic. But Derek Venray has the perfect plan: Get rid of the cache in a place where it can never be recovered. Where might that be? Even the pharaohs couldnÂ’t protect their fortunes by trying to seal them in Great Pyramids.
Thanks to modern technology, though, Derek discovers that there is a perfect place—the deep canyons of the South Atlantic. Derek’s son, Paul, is doing scientific research there using a deep-sea drilling ship—he is also running out of funding for leasing the highly specialized rig.
To have his plan succeed, Derek considers anyone, even his wife, Alena, and Paul, to be expendable. Alena and Paul may be in danger anyway, caught between DerekÂ’s greed and Navy Commander, Teague BrowningÂ’s determination for revenge.

Took a chance with this book on a recommendation from a friend. Finished it in a day and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. Radner immerses us in the diamond world and offers us insights into just how "valuable" diamonds are. Looking forward to reading other from Radner.

Some books are capable of taking you into another world, where you feel as though you are learning secrets the average reader shouldn't know. The Netanya Cache is in that category, as the clandestine diamond industry is revealed to be much more ominous than the jewelry store image would lead you to believe. As the story goes from the sinister plans of Derek Venray to deep-sea adventures and more, we are given characters that we can enjoy in relationships that Radner has carefully developed. If one good item can be called a gem, then this book, with it's many virtues can truly be called a cache.

I loved it! This book is a thrilling read from start to finish. It keeps a great level of suspense throughout. There are a number of subplots in the book, and all are exciting and unpredictable. The context of the book makes it read more like a historical thriller than fiction. With such high stakes in diamonds, you end up believing that this could really happen!
Radner does an excellent job of developing the characters. You get to know each one as a real, three-dimensional person through their innermost desires, fears, and motivations. Ordinary people are wrested from their daily lives and find themselves in extraordinary situations. Their nightmare is real, and now they must react. Even after I was done with the book, I found myself thinking of what happened to each of them, and how they could get on with their lives.
I strongly recommend this book.
