Publisher's Synopsis
"The Day of the Dipsas" is an unconventional mystery story which deal with the psychological rather than the actual. Based largely upon real-life events: the notorious African diamond trade as well as the botched assassination attempt on the Premier of Communist China, blends suspense and gripping satire. The story opens unforgettably in the muggy heat of exotic East Africa. The narrator, a certain Mr. Weston feels betreayed and disallusioned after having accepted a new assignment from his boss. Only the Italian Padre and enigmatic Mr. Eks hold the key pieces to the puzzle. The story is open to debate, but what is certain is the book leaves a deep and lasting impression upon the reader's imagination.
