Win Liberte has it all. He prides himself on never having worked a day in his life. He has everything he wants - fast cars, beautiful women, a racing yacht, a penthouse in Manhattan. Orphaned at eleven, Win inherited an international diamond business that is managed by his uncle.Then Win loses it all when his uncle commits suicide after investing all of Win's money in a scheme that fails. His single remaining asset is a bankrupt diamond mine in Angola, a steaming, war-ravaged country in equatorial Africa. In the blood and muck of central Africa, Win experiences the "Diamond Curse" first hand. Battles over Angola's vast wealth in gems occur daily, and fights for control of the diamond industry have wiped out generations. Thriving on the challenge, Win founds an international diamond business that challenges a powerful cartel's stranglehold on the market.Loved by two women - a movie goddess who sears men's souls and a dedicated UN worker who risks her life in Africa - Win doesn't find anything worth living for until he loses love.From the tunnels of the diamond mine to the stage at the Academy Awards, from the beds of beautiful women to a battle with warlords, Win has to fight to get back everything he ever wanted.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Über Harold Robbins

Sexo, drogas y poder. Tres palabras que componen su ADN y que le hicieron millonario. Harold Robbins (1916-1997) decía haber experimentado todos los vicios que describe en sus libros. Decía también que era el mejor haciendo su trabajo, aunque se confesaba admirador de John Steinbeck, James T. Farrell o Irving Wallace. Su capacidad de inventiva le llevó incluso a construir un relato ficticio de su propia vida: aseguraba compartir identidad con Francis Kane, el protagonista de su primera obra, No amarás a un extraño (1948). La escribió para ganar una apuesta: trabajaba en las oficinas de Universal Studios en Nueva York y quiso demostrar que era capaz de escribir una novela que superara las que pasaban por sus manos. Cincuenta años de carrera y 750 millones de ejemplares vendidos de sus más de 20 títulos le dieron la razón.
El éxito de sus historias llegó hasta la gran pantalla. Muchas de sus novelas han tenido versión cinematográfica, como Los insaciables, El precio del placer o Un guijarro para Danny Fisher (1952), su obra más valorada.
