Stuart Mancini is days away from closing a merger that will net him millions of dollars when a routine business luncheon is interrupted by the disappearance of a key business partner and an unexpected visit from a pair of odd Englishmen claiming to represent his estranged grandfather. Within hours, Stuart is swept from his comfortable, controlled Manhattan environment into a storm of family mysteries, kidnapping, and murder. Stuart's introduction to The Kilimanjaro Club launches him into a global search for his grandfather's history, his business partner's locale, and a fresh world of adventure, discovery, and introspection.
