It is 1914. In the heart of the Belgian Congo, Garvey, a bedraggled
British manservant, emerges from the jungle. He is the lone survivor of
a mining expedition in which both his masters have died, and all of the
party's African porters have fled. With him, he carries two huge
diamonds.
From his prison cell in London, Garvey recounts his horrific and
thrilling ordeal. Young Tommy Thomson is assigned to transcribe Garvey's
story and only he can untangle the extraordinary mysteries of the Garvey
case.
