About the Book
Valley of Diamonds is a mystery/adventure story. In June 1940, a mine manager, Rory Adams, buried some diamonds in Guinea, West Africa. Then he was murdered. They turn up forty years later in an urn of human ashes from a crematorium in England. How did they get there and where had they been hidden?
About the Author
Ted Smith worked for over eighteen years in the West African diamond mining industry. He draws his characters and incidents from from his experiences in Africa. Valley of Diamonds is his second novel, and it is based on a well-known (in certain circles) tale of smuggling diamonds from Guinea to Sierra Leone during the Second World War.
