A heart-racing thriller from the master of adventure "a ripping yarn of adventure, romance and bloody conflict" Daily Telegraph It's darkest before the dawn Three families - the Bryants, the Quilter-Phippses and the Ngwenyas - share a history as complex and bloody as Zimbabwe itself. Dedicated conservationists Paul and Philippa Bryant are struggling to save their farm and small herd of endangered black rhinos from seizure by corrupt government minister Emmerson Ngwenya. Twin brothers, ex-soldier Braedan and environmentalist Tate Quilter-Phipps join the fight. But when the brothers fall in love with the same woman, Natalie Bryant, their rivalry threatens to put the lives of all involved at risk. And with Emmerson vowing to stop at nothing until he gets what he wants, a bloody showdown seems inevitable. In the broken country that is Zimbabwe, only the strongest can survive. "Tony Park has drawn on his deep love and respect of the untamed African continent to deliver this unmissable read." Daily Examiner Fans of David Baldacci, Wilbur Smith and Ken Follett will love Tony Park.
