The Stream Lost in the Sand Michael Smith

Benjamin Bone used to work on oil rigs but has lately been running from reality and responsibility. Now he hopes a new job will get him back on track - a job with an American company drilling a remote multi-million dollar oil well in a dry river valley beneath the towering cliffs of the Yemeni plateau.
But instead of work he is plunged into a terrifying world of corporate crime and cut-throat politicians. Framed for murder and sought by gangsters and the police, his only hope is to flee to Yemen to find out what is really happening out there in the desert.
In a backdrop of encroaching civil war, Benjamin is caught up in a deadly clash of feudal clans, ambitious politicians, corrupt company officials, and people just trying to do their high risk jobs.
And while someone will do anything to keep him quiet, Benjamin is hurtling towards disaster.
