At the beginning of the 1950s, the interior of West and Central Africa was still known to most of the outside world as The White Man's Grave, and there were still large parts where its forests were primeval. These forests inhabited the minds of most Westerners as places of foreboding.
When Peace Corps volunteer Michael Killigan goes missing in West Africa, his father Randall and his best friend Boone Westfall begin separate quests to find him. Randall, a bankruptcy lawyer, is the warlord of his world, a shark in a fishbowl, exercising power with mad, relentless, hilarious glee; Boone, an American innocent abroad, journeys to the African bush, protected by the twin charms of the passport and the almighty dollar. In seeking Michael, both men find much more than they bargain for.
When Michael goes missing in Africa, the search to find him is launched separately by his father, Randall, and Michael's friend, Boone. Boone's search leads him to the bush, where he is introduced to the dubious aspects of bush life, and Randall's efforts seem to be hampered by the supernatural.

As a dutiful Victorian daughter, the author was thirty before being freed (by her parents' deaths) to do as she chose. She went to West Africa in 1893 and again in 1895, to investigate the beliefs and customs of the inland tribes and also to collect zoological specimens. She was appalled by the 'thin veneer of rubbishy white culture' imposed by British officials and was not afraid to say so.
