Silent Predator - Tony Park (Silent predator #1)

In a luxury safari lodge in Kruger National Park, Detective Sergeant Tom Furey has woken to a protection officer's worst nightmare. The government minister in his charge has been abducted.

Furey, and his local counterpart, Inspector Sannie van Rensburg, go against official orders and track the kidnappers to the coastal waters of Mozambique, and then north to the shores of Lake Malawi. Sannie can't resist becoming involved in Tom's mission, even risking her job to help him.

Africa is a land of danger as well as beauty, and soon lives are at risk. The hunt spirals into a fight to the death, and involves a crime beyond anyone's worst imaginings...
