Details

Zac, sixteen, lives in Gloucester, England, with his grandfather. Pops says that he and Zac are descendents of a Ghanaian king and heirs to a hidden fortune, but Zac doesn't believe it. As far as Zac can tell, the only proof of his grandfather's claims are a series of diaries Pops wrote, plus the "tribal marks" on Zac's back-scars Pops put there. Then mysterious attackers kill Pops and steal his diaries, leaving Zac to solve the mysteries of his lineage and his grandfather's murder. Writer's note.

Now Zac is being followed and framed for crimes he did not commit. It soon becomes clear to Zac that someone powerful believes he holds a map to the treasure and that this someone won’t be happy until the truth is buried along with Zac. Topics Lawsuits. Diaries.
