The Congo is a very dangerous place for television journalist
Valerie Grey in this tragic, fast-paced tale of avarice and
betrayal. Amid the bloody violence of the country's endless civil
war, Grey uncovers a deadly diamond-smuggling scheme that reaches
the White House by way of a famous American televangelist. Grey is
pursued by the soldiers of the country's dictator, the mercenaries
of the diamond mine's owner, and the rebels seeking to take control
of the mine. Aided by an altruistic doctor who struggles to bring
medical care to Congo's poor, she must canoe down
crocodile-infested rivers, dodge attacking helicopters, and race
over teeth-rattling roads to bring their stunning story--one of
government corruption, church greed, and brutality among warring
factions--to the outside world.
