One day on walkabout with her beloved indigenous grandfather, Johnny Quartpot she is shown a sacred site and he gives her a red stone - the eye of the rainbow serpent.

She experiences racial prejudice, but her beauty leads her into modelling and soon catches the eye of a London agent, Paul LeClair. Known simply as "Chloe" she soon becomes an international supermodel.
However, her life begins to spiral out of control as successive men seek to possess and control her, often with deadly consequences.
Chloe is confronted by Walter Boyce who suddenly appears in London with her red stone, which he discloses is in fact a priceless red diamond. However, it is soon apparent he is only just one of many people intent on getting their hands on the gem, and the locality of the sacred site.
As the only person who knows the source, and the vast riches it must hold, Chloe realises she is in mortal danger. She must return the stone to the protection of the rainbow serpent, but can she make it there without being overtaken by her pursuers?
From outback Western Australia to London, this is an exciting, fastpaced
story about passion, murder
and cruelty of human greed.
