Master Of The Game by Sidney Sheldon
The story begins with Kate Blackwell's ninetieth birthday celebrations in 1982 and is told in flashback.
The story then moves one hundred years back to the arrival of Scotsman Jamie MacGregor (1865–1894) in Klipdrift, South Africa
in 1883 to seek his fortune. He is soon defrauded by a wealthy Dutch storekeeper, Salomon Van Der Merwe, who steals his

Jamie plans his revenge, joined by Banda, who seeks vengeance for his younger sister who was raped and killed by Salomon.
The two sneak into van der Merwe's heavily guarded diamond mines in the Namib Desert and succeed in stealing a load of
diamonds worth a fortune. Jamie, now rugged and unrecognizable, returns to Klipdrift, cons Salomon into believing him to be a
rich businessman .....
