Description

Pete Chandler, an investigator for the U.S. Export/Import Bank, travels to South Africa with his daughter, Karen. They hope to heal their relationship. He's also on assignment for the bank to solve the murder of a bank contractor. Pete thinks the investigation will be finished quickly. Within a day of arriving in Cape Town, Karen is almost killed during a second murder. That danger throws Pete into a bigger mystery than he imagined. He teams up with a local investigator, Janette Koos, for help. They follow the case across the expanse of South Africa to a game reserve. Clues point to the reserve as the center of an international illegal ivory trafficking network. As they work together, Pete's attraction for Janette crosses over into a closer relationship---something that could compromise his job. His investigation traps them all between powerful forces that don't want them to succeed. When Pete refuses to give-up, all of them become targets of the criminals, who will do anything to stop the three. The story reveals the beauty of Cape Town, travels across the country to look at the local tribes and life in the shambas, and ends with Pete and Karen viewing the big game.
