Charles has inherited a large estate, but the reasons for this leave him full of questions. His elder brother, David, was a young army officer reported ‘missing presumed dead’ in 1942. Determined to uncover the truth, Charles journeys to Tripoli. There he discovers a blonde Bedouin boy who is the spitting image of his lost brother. The locals prove unwilling to help, but Charles is determined to deliver his inheritance to its rightful heir. Is the boy David’s son, and if so, what has happened to David?
