About the book

Sally Jones is not only a loyal friend, she's an extraordinary individual. In overalls or in a maharaja's turban, this unique gorilla moves among humans without speaking, but understanding everything. She and the Chief are devoted comrades who operate a cargo boat. But when a deal goes horribly wrong, and the Chief is convicted of murder, Sally Jones embarks on a harrowing quest to clear his name.[Bokinfo]
