A celebrated explorer brazenly murdered. A fabled treasure lost in the African wilderness.
Stuart Mancini is on the verge of closing a merger that will net him a fortune when his routine business luncheon is hijacked by an unexpected visit from a pair of eccentric Englishmen claiming to represent his estranged-and recently murdered-grandfather. Within hours, Stuart is swept from his predictable, meticulous Manhattan environment into a storm of family mysteries, kidnapping, and murder. Stuart's sudden induction into the enigmatic Kilimanjaro Club-a global network of covert adventurers-launches him into an intercontinental pursuit of his legendary grandfather's secrets, a missing business partner, and an unpredictable web of adventure, discovery, and introspection.
