Riassunto

In the summer of 1925 Colonel Fawcett - soldier, spy and legendary explorer - embarked on a journey into the dark and uncharted heart of Brazil in search of the lost 'City of Z'. He was never seen again. In 1932, "The Times" advertised for 'guns' to join an expedition to find Fawcett. This title describes that expedition.
