It is 1914 when Marcus Garvey a bedraggled British manservant emerges fromthe depths of the Belgian Congo. He is the sole survivor of an illfated miningexpedition in which both his masters William and Richard Craver died and fromwhich their African porters unexpectedly fled. Garvey returns to Londoncarrying two diamonds of extraordinary size spinning a story too unspeakablyterrifying to be believed. He is promptly arrested. Tommy Thompson a Londonghostwriter for a ghostwriter for a ghostwriter dont ask is approached byhis attorney to document Garveys unholy African odyssey. From his prison cellawaiting the murder trial Garvey recounts the mindboggling horror that theCraver mining expedition encountered in the dark recesses of the Belgian Congo.Exactly how did the Craver brothers die? What unearthly forces would drive mento commit such acts of immeasurable brutality? Could love have possibly bloomedin the heart of such darkness? Only Tommy can untangle the mysteries of theGarvey case. A brilliant literary pastiche and tongueincheek pulp Africanadventure with echoes of Heart of Darkness and King Solomons Mines Pandora inthe Congo is at its heart a fabulist literary exploration of imaginationreminding us that there is rarely one version to any story and always morethan meets the eye. «
