Secrets of the Rio Negro

Martin Lockwood is a man who has everything - an MG, money in the bank, an Oxford degree and his pick of women. A closer look, however, shows a man who has never felt happy, never fallen in love, and whose life has a distinct lack of meaning. When his father, William Henry Lockwood - barrister extraordinaire - passes away, a timely trip to his childhood home allows Martin to find out who the man he called ‘Dad’ really was. Enter a Swiss army knife, an old diary and some photographs, and a man on a mission to discover the truth. The result is an unparalleled education and a foray into the unknown. This realistic coming-of-age story will not only have you unable to put the book down, but is also a fascinating insight into unchartered territory.
