Eric Burncastle’s perfectly ordered life is suffocating him–until he meets Fenella Cooper.
The mysterious gothic beauty shares his passion for dark literature and seems to understand his restless soul. But their budding romance is shattered when Eric’s bitter literary rival, Geoffrey de la Plume, publicly accuses him of murdering his missing brother Blair for the family inheritance.
Determined to clear his name and uncover the truth about Blair’s fate, Eric assembles an unlikely expedition to the African wilderness where his adventurous brother was last seen. Armed with cryptic journals and disturbing tribal artifacts left behind in Blair’s private study, Eric and Fenella venture into the heart of the Congo.
Their rescue mission becomes an epic comedy of errors as their team–featuring Humbold the bumbling academic, Fotheringham the stalwart military man, and unfortunately Geoffrey himself, who follows them with revenge on his mind–encounters territorial tribes, ancient fertility rituals, and Geoffrey’s increasingly spectacular disguises.
Between the primal depths of Africa and the comfortable drawing rooms of England, Eric discovers that finding his missing brother may be easier than finding himself.
A brilliantly funny adventure about love, brotherhood, and proper English behavior in improper places.
