Flight of the Hornbill

Gold, a lot of it, has been discovered in the oil rich tropics of Sumatra. Or has it? From an American suburb incongruously set into a jungle clearing, to the sleazy bars of Jakarta; from a neighborhood floating on a river, to the dense, steaming rainforest; corporate investigator Ray Sharp's job is to ferret out the truth.

Why does a Frenchman want to kill Ray? Who's been shoved out of a helicopter, and why? What's Ray's ex-wife, and her boyfriend, got to do with it?

Loosely (very) based on the facts of the Bre-X gold fraud of 1997, Flight of the Hornbill is a thrill ride through an exotic Asian landscape
