AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The disappearance and suspicious death of Simon Holmes à Court, younger brother of billionaire Robert Holmes à Court, is explored in this compelling true-life mystery. In May 1977, as South Africa teetered on the brink of civil war, Simon left the Botswanan town he called home and simply disappeared. Three years later his skeletal remains were found thousands of miles away in the lush, dank Tsitsikamma Forest. This is the story of the shy, adventuring, and sometimes reckless Holmes à Court brother and the young journalist who went in search of the truth about Simon's death through the heart of Africa.'
