About this audiobook
This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Grant Allen, the life of one of the most versatile writers of English literature
Originally published in 1897, "An African Millionaire" is a classic of crime and adventure by Canadian author Grant Allen. "An African Millionaire" is one of the first books to feature a gentleman crook and it is perfect for fans of books such as Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief.
This classic in rogue fiction tells the story of Sir Charles Van Drift, a confident and handsome South African millionaire that spends his time jetting to exotic locales with his wife and in-laws. But on one fateful trip to the Riviera, Van Drift meets his match in Colonel Clay. Posing alternately as a seer, a curate, and a German professor, the master of disguise swindles Van Drift through three continents and poses a serious risk to his South African diamond fortune. Colonel Clay, the notorious con artist and thief, has triumphed. But who is this master of disguise, really?
