A RAILROAD SURVEY. A MISSING WOMAN. A DIAMOND-SMUGGLING MYSTERY.
American engineer Dan Courtney has eight months to survey a route linking the Uganda Railway with the Anglo-Egyptian Railroad. Two earlier attempts ended in disaster, and Dan still has hundreds of miles of difficult country ahead of him.
Then Barbara, a young American woman he met in Nairobi, disappears after her safari is attacked.
Dan should stay with the survey. Instead, he follows her trail—and walks into a second mystery involving rough diamonds, armed men and a secretive police force pursuing the illegal diamond trade.
Now two dangers are converging. Someone wants the railway stopped, and someone is willing to kill over diamonds. To finish the survey and find Barbara, Dan will have to figure out who he can trust before the frontier closes around him.
With a breathless pace, vivid characters and one reversal after another, All Frontiers Are Jealous is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction set against the danger of African railway expansion and a hidden diamond-smuggling operation.
