Platinum Burning: A novel of Intrigue and Passion by Walton Beacham

In strife torn Syria, an American husband and his wife Colleen bitterly part over Rasheva, an erotic dancing girl in Damascus, leaving Hank in the clutches of four femme fatales—all beautiful, all treacherous in their own way: Shelly, who may or may not be able to protect him from the terrorists who pursue them, or from Colleen, who lies in ambush for his return home, or from Rasheva, whose life has been transformed by Hank’s generosity. And then there’s Madelyn . . .

Platinum Burning, a novel of intrigue and passion, is simultaneously hilarious and frightening as Hank explains how no man can count himself fortunate until he is dead.
