In 1912, a group of diamond prospectors are stranded on the Skeleton Coast and perish. John Beecher was one of those unfortunate souls. Yet his legacy lives on when over one hundred years later, his great grandson arrives on the same coast also lured by the prospect of diamonds.
In the present day, semi-retired Dink is on a tour of Namibia where she meets Marco, a retired physician. When the tour ends, Dink and Marco extend their stay, travel to the northern region of Namibia, but stumble into trouble. When visiting a Himba village, they learn of mysteriously dying cattle and the village livelihood is at stake. Dink and Marco discover the cattle were poisoned, but in searching for why and by whom, they learn that a missing academic and what secrets he holds are key. It becomes clear that a more complicated and bizarre series of events may involve diamonds. Dink and Marco must draw upon all their wits to unravel the mystery.
The past and present are linked by man's search for diamond riches. The country culture, lifestyle of indigenous people, and historical moments are blended throughout the novel.
