A father, a son, a war and choices that shape their lives for decades.
The Fourth Gold Bar is a gripping and deeply moving novel about ambition, courage and the longing to love and be loved.
Based on true events, the story follows Jan van Geel, a talented boxer, adventurer and restless seeker whose ambition and courage draw him into war, betrayal, forbidden love and an extraordinary gold robbery.
But beneath the suspense lies a powerful father-son story about absence, longing and emotional wounds that refuse to disappear. A story about what we inherit, what we hide, and what eventually comes back to find us.
