About this title

Synopsis

Safari guide and sleuth Jazz Jasper returns in her third whodunit, preserving Africa's wildlife and pursuing a deadly prey when a preservationist and investigative journalist is killed by a scorpion that is suspiciously out of place.

From the Inside Flap

gative journalist and dedicated preservationist Nick Hunter dies from a scorpion sting on his isolated cheetah preserve in northeastern Kenya, Jazz Jasper feels that a remarkably clever murder has been committed. Especially when she learns that the lethal specimen is an imported Sahara scorpion not indigenous to the region.

The search for the truth about Nick's death leads to an exclusive white suburb of Nairobi. From there, Jazz embarks on a sweeping adventure that takes her into the desert, to a Saudi hunting camp, and into a mountain cave where present-day Africans live as they did thousands of years ago. For Jazz it is a journey from which there may be no return....
