"Farlig tomandsfærd" er et af den grønlandske histories mest eventyrlige afsnit. Bogen fortæller om en lille håndfuld mænds uforfærdede kamp for i årene 1909-12 at løfte resten af det slør, der endnu hvilede over Mylius-Erichsens, Høeg-Hagens og Jørgen Brønlunds sidste tragiske rejse under "Danmarks-ekspeditionen" 1906-08.
