| Synopsis: |
AN AFRICAN MILLIONAIRE By Grant Allen. This is a collection of a series of twelve adventures or episodes. They are stories about Sit Charles Vandrift, a millionaire owner of diamond mines in Africa, and his secretary, Seymour Wentworth - who is also his brother-in-law. Vandrift is constantly set upon by a man known as Colonel Clay - a man of incredible wit and remarkable disguises. In tale after tale, he manages to hide his identity behind a marvelous makeup job and take advantage of Vandrift in one scam or another. "As his surname indicates, Colonel Clay is a man of clay, readily transformed into any number of undetectable disguises so that he can better torment and fleece ...Vandrift." In essence, Clay is the hero of these stories. He is the Robin Hood of scam, and has latched onto Vandrift as a remora to a shark or a tapeworm to a human. Together they form a symbiotic relationship that drives each story forward. |
