British Commissioner Sanders rules the West African territories in the manner of a strict father, watching over his subjects with a combination of force and indulgence. When Sanders takes a period of leave, his kingdom falls into disarray, until order is restored with the help of the loyal chief Bosambo.

Employing his unique style of innocent and endearing humour, Bones has written to the newspapers inviting the Foreign Secretary to pay a visit to the African territories which they administer. It is against the regulations and his boss Hamilton is furious. All the while Bosambo, chief of the Ochori, watches closely.

Colonial Administrator Sanders is known for exploiting the people of Liberia. But when he encounters the one man three steps ahead of him, all that is about to change. Both a conman and a crook, escaped convict turned tribal chief Bosambo is ready to outwit Sanders and his crew. He is nevertheless fiercely loyal to him and ready to spring to his rescue in times of need. Weaving another rip-roaring tale in the ‘Sanders of the River’ adventure series, Wallace’s novel – and 1935 film starring Paul Robeson and Leslie Banks – is ideal for fans of the 2016 blockbuster hit, ‘The Legend of Tarzan’. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. An author, journalist, and poet, Wallace wrote countless novels, short stories, screenplays, and stage plays, along with historical non-fiction. His work has been adapted into more than 160 films. In 1932, Wallace died suddenly in Hollywood, during the initial drafting of his most famous work, ‘King Kong’.

'Taking the little paper from the pigeon's leg, Hamilton saw it was from Sanders and marked URGENT. Send Bones instantly to Lujamalababa... Arrest and bring to headquarters the witch doctor.' In the mysterious African territories administered by Sanders, Bones creates his own unique style of mischief.

"Commissioner Sanders should have known better than to go on vacation. He is just a few days from his offices in British West Africa when he receives word from his second in command that trouble, always at a simmer in this jungle outpost, is about to come to a boil. He rushes home, arriving just in time for a meeting of the chiefs of his territory, who have been misled by an ambitious agitator named Bosambo into thinking that Sanders is dead. Sanders's return staves off rebellion, but Bosambo's power grab is not over yet. To keep the province from erupting into all-out tribal warfare, Sanders must outsmart the most brilliant chieftain in Africa. In these rip-roaring adventures, the heroic commissioner contends with malaria, ju-ju, and the whims of government officials safely ensconced in their London offices."--fantastic fiction.com.
