Set against the vivid backdrop of colonial-era West Africa, The Golden Pool follows a disenchanted English clerk who escapes the monotony of bank life by joining a mysterious sea captain on a trading voyage. But his adventure soon turns darker when he is sent inland to manage a trading post and becomes entangled in native lore, rumors of sacred gold, and a shadowy legend involving blind slaves and a hidden treasure. As his quest for wealth deepens, so too does his confrontation with moral peril, cultural conflict, and the unforgiving African wilderness. Drawing from the author's own experiences on the Gold Coast, this novel combines gripping adventure with richly detailed ethnographic realism.
