About This Book

Two school chums depart for East Africa and encounter a succession of dangers and mysteries as they travel inland: shipboard robbery and delays at Cape Town, highway ambushes and a mountain track leading to a perilous chasm, attacks by lions and a locust plague, clashes with rival men including a Van der Wyck figure, a dramatic kidnapping and captivity among a local group, and the discovery of a golden image that leads to final revelations. The narrative blends episodic action, perilous escapes, tribal palavers, and unexpected explanations to resolve hidden motives and fortunes.
