Description
An all-new vivid, action-packed adventure across the African landscape in the tradition of Tony Park and Wilbur Smith, from Australian thriller writer, T.M. Clark.
Hiding from the law, they never expected to be caught in the crosshairs of a hunter… After relocating to South Africa on the heels of scandal five years ago, Chloe and her invalid father, Mike, once wealthy Zimbabwean landowners, now have little. Away at university, Chloe has had to rely on her father's best friend Enoch and his son Xo to watch over Mike. When a violent confrontation puts Chloe in danger, Enoch steps in to help – with inadvertent fatal results. With increasing pressure from a right–wing group on the police to charge Enoch, this mismatched family have no choice but to flee back to Zimbabwe. But crossing the border will be dangerous and near impossible with their route taking them amid warring dissident armies and landmines, and their every footstep is stalked by a shadowy ring of hunters – whose trophies are taken from more than animals... Only with help from Nick, formerly a soldier under Mike's command, now a professional game ranger, will the fugitives have a chance of making it home. But Nick has long struggled to come to terms with his fellow soldiers' choices before their unit was abandoned. Will his past demons put them all at risk?

Five years they had been in South Africa after leaving their home in Zimbabwe under shadowy circumstances. Her father Mike, his lifelong friend Enoch and son Xo plus Ethel who cared for Mike were all the family Chloe had now. But the interference of their racist white Afrikan neighbour, and the violent altercation which followed meant Chloe and her family had to flee – destination their old home in Zimbabwe. Along the way they picked up Nick, game ranger and ex-soldier under Mike’s command, plus his offsider, tracker Khululani and the guide Filipe for their arduous journey.
But as well as the dangers of the wild animals and fighting armies, there were hunters of a different kind, hunters who took more than one type of trophy. And Chloe and her family were in their path…
Would they make it across the border into Zimbabwe? There were bound to be dangers they would encounter along the way – could they make it through safely?
Nature of the Lion is another breathtaking, heart stopping contemporary thriller set in Africa by Aussie author T.M. Clark. Gripping, intense, action-packed – I couldn’t put it down! The cover is divine, and the author’s writing is such that I can easily visualize the landscape, filled with awe inspiring spectacles of stunning beauty, alongside stark and terrible danger. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all this author’s work, and this one was no exception. Highly recommended.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
