Vanishing Tribe

Annja Creed, an archaeologist, bids at a Botswana auction of belongings once owned by a notorious explorer. Her purchase is a modest painting that looks like nothing special. When the explorer's son tries to seize it by force, Annja discovers that a map is hidden behind the canvas. The map seems to lead to the lost city of the San, a people of the Kalahari who vanished long ago and, according to legend, left a city glittering with diamonds.

Annja has to decide whether the map marks a genuine archaeological find or is just an elaborate invention. Chasing the answer means braving the dangers of the African bush and a ruthless son who will do anything to keep his father's greatest legacy for himself.
