About this audiobook
After the daring theft of the DeBeers diamond in the small mining town of Kimberley, South Africa, Inspector Lipinski is brought in to solve the impossible crime.
George Griffith (1857-1906) was a Welsh explorer, journalist, and writer, best known today for his airship science fiction adventures and Inspector Lipinski mysteries.
Annie Lenz-Fontaine started in show business at the ripe young age of five, acting in local TV commercials. Today, she enjoys narrating audio programs, doing voiceover work for radio, and reading children's stories at her local libraries.

George Griffith
George Griffith (1857–1906) was one of Britain’s great writers of science fiction and a noted explorer. After working as a schoolmaster in his twenties, Griffith found fame with the publication of The Angel of the Revolution, an account of a terrorist group that uses air warfare to take over the world. Griffith was also an avid explorer, setting the record for voyaging around the world when he performed the feat in just sixty-five days.
