Description
Raymond Dimka, an immensely talented singer and guitarist, is head-over-heels in love with Tamar, a ravishing banker, but too shy to put his cards on her table. While he stews in emotional torment, lady Fiona, the wife of an influential politician is murdered, and both circumstantial evidence and motive link him with the crime. In court, Raymond's defense hangs on the string of a weak alibi, which easily slaps when the prosecutor goes to work on it. Later, in prison waiting to be hanged, Raymond learns that Tamar, the yearning for whose love put him in trouble, has walked down the aisle with his accuser! Everyone gives up on this hapless lover- everyone, except a long forgotten childhood friend who emerges out of the blue and sets out on a mission, not only to wrest him from the jaws of death, but also to find the murderer of lady Fiona and bring him to justice. Gold Shackles is a heartrending classic- a mesh of intrigue and emotion sustained in the glue of cutting edge suspense.
