About This Book
After her divorce, Geraldine Markham returns to England from The Gambia, believing her husband intends to remain in Africa and is not best pleased when he turns up, insistent on seeing her. Reluctantly, she agrees to meet him, but before this takes place he is murdered. Unwittingly, she becomes embroiled in an international diamond smuggling syndicate when it transpires her ex-husband had been using her as a 'carrier' for uncut diamonds he had been siphoning off for himself. To-date, Interpol have made little headway in breaking the syndicate, the main reason being they have had to be circumspect in their investigations, not wanting to prematurely alert the key people involved, both in The Gambia and in England. They need proof. Geraldine persuades her friend, Hans Canoy, a senior officer with Interpol, to allow her to go out there, believing with her knowledge of the country and the people she knows, she might be able to help. There are many who are not convinced she is merely on holiday and through a series of unpleasant and frightening experiences, all of which due to her own tenacity she manages to extricate herself, she collects crucial information of what is going on, although when she returns to England her life continues to be in jeopardy and she needs to exercise all her abilities to outwit her pursuers.
