Predators: A Botswana Mystery: Botswana (Paperback)

Autor Frederick Ramsay
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2009

Leo Painter is the CEO of Earth Global, a large energy, mining and real-estate development firm. He and his party of company executives are traveling in Botswana to consult with the government about accessing their extractable resources.

Sekoa is a male lion who shares with his bipedal enemies, the misfortune to be the bearer of HIV/AIDs. Weakened by the disease, he loses his place as the alpha male in his pride and now, dying and harassed by a pack of hyenas, seeks only a place to rest in peace.

Painter, pursued by his own "hyenas" only wishes to find a last resting place where he can further his dream: to build a resort/casino on Botswana's Chobe River.

Their paths cross with tragic consequences as police, a plucky woman game warden, and myriad local authorities, hoteliers, and tribesmen, vie over what happened and to whom.

Recenzii

¬Ramsay (Impulse) matches keen characterizations with an obvious affection for Botswana, a complicated country that's more than Alexander McCall Smith's ¬quaint mysteries,‾ as one character observes.‾ ªPublishers Weekly of Predators
 
*STARRED REVIEW*
¬A bit rougher-edged than Alexander McCall Smith's genteel "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, this mystery will still attract his fans and those who like Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu series (e.g., The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu ).‾ ªLibrary Journal of Predators
