By R. Austin Freeman

Narrated by Graham Scott

In this two-part mystery, first a determined and uncompromising young Englishman traveling under the name 'John Walker' arrives in West Africa, on the run from events back home. Soon, he finds himself embroiled in adventure and romance by land and by sea. Meanwhile, in part two, the equally implacable forensic detective Dr. John Thorndyke investigates the theft that provoked 'Walker' to flee England in the first place and soon discovers unexpected mysteries...

Thats right you get two stories, the first an adventure story in West Africa comprising of mutinies and battles involving our hero. The other Dr Thorndyke finding out why our hero is in West Africa in the first place. The descriptions and adventures written by R.A.F. who was a doctor based in West Africa in the 1880's are very believable. This book was written in 1927 about adventures in the 1890's in Africa, so if you're easily offended and get outraged by words, facts and history, this book might not be for you.
