"Inspired by real events, Bryce Courtenay’s novel tells the story of three people from vastly differing background. All they have in common is a tough beginning in life. Jack McKenzie is a harmonica player, soldier, dreamer and small-town professional fisherman from a tiny island in Bass Strait. Nicole Lenoir-Jourdan is a strong-willed woman hiding from an ambiguous past in Shanghai. Larger than life, Private Jimmy Oldcorn was once a street kid and leader of a New York gang. Together they reap a vast and not always legitimate fortune from the sea."--
