An Empty Coast
Page 44
Canadian researcher Michelle Parker jumps at the chance to visit the famed mountain gorillas, but she is wary of the man giving her this opportunity – professional big-game hunter Fletcher Reynolds.
Fletcher represents all Michelle has fought against – the slaughter of animals for material gain – but she finds herself increasingly drawn to his power and is reassured by his apparent support for the stamping out of poaching.
Into this mix steps ex-SAS officer Shane Castle. He has been recruited by Fletcher to spearhead the anti-poaching campaign. Shane is a man who has seen what bullets can do – to both human and animal – and he makes Michelle start to doubt the choices she has made . . .
African Sky
Paul Bryant hasn’t been able to get back in a plane since a fatal bombing mission over Germany. So, instead, the Squadron Leader is flying a desk at a pilot training school at Kumalo air base, Rhodesia.
Pip Lovejoy, a volunteer policewoman, is also trying to suppress painful memories. When Felicity Langham, a high-profile WAAF from the air base, is found raped and murdered, Pip and Bryant’s paths cross.
Pip unearths a link between the Squadron Leader, the controversial heiress Catherine De Beers and the dead woman. What Pip thinks is a singular crime of passion soon escalates into a crisis that could change the course of the war.
Zambezi
News of the death of a young research assistant, reportedly killed by a man-eating lion in Zimbabwe, reaches those closest to her. Jed Banks, a Special Forces soldier serving in Afghanistan; Professor Christine Wallis, a wildlife researcher in South Africa; and Hassan bin Zayid, a hotel magnate in Zambia. The victim was respectively their daughter, protégée and lover.
Driven to find out exactly what happened, Jed, accompanied by Christine, travels to the banks of the Zambezi to investigate. Not only does Jed learn some shocking truths about the daughter he thought he knew, but he begins to suspect that Christine is withholding crucial information.
Meanwhile, Hassan’s grief is dangerously volatile.
The magnificence and terror of Africa is the backdrop to this superb successor to the best-selling Far Horizon.
Far Horizon
Mike Williams is leading a supposedly carefree life as an overland tour guide in Africa. But just a year ago, the former Australia Army officer had endured the brutal death of his girlfriend at the hands of ivory hunters in Mozambique.
Now the South African Police are on the murderers’ trail and need Mike’s help. But he has a truckload of tourists who have no idea what has been asked of him . . . although one passenger has her suspicions.
Following a chase through some of Africa’s most spectacular locations, Mike gets his shot at revenge . . . but at what cost?
