A Little about the book from product page:
Critic's Review

Hammer Spade, a single private investigator and his best friend, Jack Kane, have traveled to Africa to determine who is smuggling diamonds from a well-known firm.  When they arrive, they find that surface appearances are deceiving.

 Using a safari as a cover, Hammer and Jack display their marksmanship abilities, impress the natives, and overpower the opposing force.  Solving the mystery of who is behind the diamond stealing becomes more and more difficult because for each puzzle solved, more obstacles are thrown their way.

 Hammer Spade is a roll-with-the-punches kind of guy.  In this novel, he is paired with an eclectic cast of characters.  But whether he is dealing with an African bushman or a British aristocrat, Hammer’s common sense and quick wit allow him to deal with the current situation all the while maintaining his calm demeanor.

 No matter how serious the circumstances, there is always humor to be found somewhere.  Hammer and his friends never lacked for something to provide light entertainment.  For example, zebra steaks sound quite tasty.  However, after reading this book, I do not think I will ever be enticed into trying one! 

This book is an enthralling read.
