Synopsis
"Rathbone will remind readers of vintage Graham Greene." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "A hugely enjoyable read." THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Racy and entertaining thriller following Shovelin's debut in HOMAGE Chris Shovelin, the Bournemouth PI with a marital problem, is on the move again. Coming out of Mombasa, where he has been checking out the death of a millionaire's son in a diving accident, he decides to treat himself to a safari. But an international food conglomerate feels forced to protect itself from the consequences of Shovelin's intrusion into its affairs and his "holiday" takes one wrong turn after another. From a mugging in Nairobi, through meetings with lions and a Maasai warrior, to a truly scary escape from the sewers beneath Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Shovelin faces beatings, shootings, wild elephants and a crazed killer who will not give up.
