This is an account of a father's attempts to discover what has
happened to his son, who disappeared in the Darien Gap Jungle in
Panama, in Central America. Just how do you go about finding out
what has happened to someone six thousand miles away in a
Spanish-speaking country? At the start the father did not know for
definite where how his son had disappeared, if he had had a
companion or who that companion was, or if he had had a guide. The
significant thing is that the search became a family affair
(without divorce!), but then other people became involved - some
complete strangers very generous and helpful, a genuine crook, and
two largely incompetent detective agencies. After 9 months, it was
resolved, free of any ransom demand, probably by direct contact
with the guerrilla group, FARC, itself. When the two adventurers
were released, the parents, Brian and Anne Winder, heard of ransom
demands of $2.000,000 each which never reached them, and many
situations where the two adventurers could easily have died, and
their fate never be known.
