Lecteur, vous risquez d'être déçu ! Le personnage central de ce roman, c'est moi... pas un agent du FBI, du CID (Criminal Investigation Department) ou de l'IS (Intelligence Service), ni un Adonis pour plages californiennes !

Adventurer Wandering Smith is hunting anacondas in the jungles of South America when he spots an orchid hunter, who is fleeing from a group of natives. The two join forces, but it soon becomes clear to Wandering Smith that the orchid hunter is after something much more adventurous than rare flowers.

They were originally published in 'The Popular Magazine' and were inspired by Elmer Brown Mason's own travel adventures. Funny and exciting, 'The Golden Anaconda' is a truly enjoyable read. B. J.
