Synopsis

Under the African sun, the shadow of the past is never far away. During the Rwandan genocide, three foreigners - UN worker Carmel Shang, military doctor Richard Dunlop, and journalist Liesl Nel - were forced to stand by, powerless to prevent the massacre and unable to escape witnessing the horrors. 20 years later, scattered across the world, the wounds of Rwanda still run deep. Now, a tattered photograph that was clutched in the hand of a dying man holds a clue that brings them back together...and hides a secret that is making them a target of an assassin. Hunted through South Africa's Kruger National Park to Zambia, Australia, and back to Rwanda, the three must bring themselves to confront not just the scars of a nation and a continent, but of their own hearts.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

James, Carmel and Liesl last saw each other in Rwanda, where they were working during the horrors of the genocide. Now they're back together, united by threats to their lives. Could the threats be connected to the mysterious figure in a photograph, or the summons they received from the International Criminal Tribunal? Only one thing is certain: someone is desperate to find out what they know. Embarking on a mission that takes them from South Africa to Zambia and back to Rwanda, the three are drawn into the world of animal smuggling, a world far darker and more sinister than it first appears. Soon, the hunt begins, and this time they'll be the prey.

From the Back Cover:

Richard, Liesl and Carmel worked together in Rwanda to help the survivors of the genocide. At the end of their time there, they hoped never to see each other again.
But now a photograph has emerged that holds the key to a secret only they can understand.
In a race against time and across the continent of Africa, from South Africa to Zambia and back to Rwanda, Richard, Liesl and Carmel must discover where the photograph leads, before the people desperate to keep their deadly secrets hidden find them.
