_____________________________________
On Brazzaville Beach, on the edge of Africa, Hope Clearwater ponders the strange
circumstances that led her to leave her husband John, and his mathematical
obsessions, in England and venture to Africa to help world-renowned scientist
Eugene Mallabar with his studies of wild chimps.
But the more Hope studies Mallabar, the more she comes to believe that something
isn't right. That behind Mallabar, and his obsessive work, there lies another,
more sinister truth: one that might also help explain Hope's reasons for leaving
England . . .
