About this ebook
But the secrets lurking at Fona are bigger than any of them

When she uncovers the tale of a massive diamond missing since a rebel attack during the civil war, the stakes are raised even higher. Add a love triangle and a jealous woman who wants her dead, and Sam is in trouble again.
Where is the Star of Simbako? Is Sam going to survive the chaos?
The Star of Simbako is the third book in the riveting Sam Harris Adventure series of international thrillers. If you like Indiana Jones, you'll love this exciting adventure with realistic storylines set in an exotic location before modern technology.
