In the heart of a civil war-torn African nation, primate
researcher Hope Clearwater made a shocking discovery about apes and
man. . . .
Young, alone, and far from her family in Britain, Hope
Clearwater contemplates the extraordinary events that left her
washed up like driftwood on Brazzaville Beach. It is here, on the
distant, lonely outskirts of Africa, where she must come to terms
with the perplexing and troubling circumstances of her recent past.
For Hope is a survivor of the devastating cruelties of apes and
humans alike. And to move forward, she must first grasp some hard
and elusive truths: about marriage and madness, about the greed and
savagery of charlatan science, and about what compels seemingly
benign creatures to kill for pleasure alone.
