Two modern adventurers sought a treasure possessed by the legendary "Wild Men of Borneo." One found riches. The other vanished forever into an endless jungle. Had he shed civilization--or lost his mind? Global headlines suspected murder. Lured by these mysteries, New York Times bestselling author Carl Hoffman journeyed to find the truth, discovering that nothing is as it seems in the world's last Eden.
Tracing the entwined tales of Michael Palmieri, one of the world's most successful tribal-art field collectors, and Bruno Manser, the Swiss environmentalist who abandoned Western society to live for decades among the fabled "headhunters of Borneo," Hoffman reveals both the grandeur and the precarious fate of the wildest place on earth.
