Synopsis

A totally gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat

Max Donovan, a man who uses his knowledge of far-flung corners of the earth and a fair bit of muscle to ‘fix things’, is relaxing by the sea in Senegal.

But his much-needed holiday after a botched operation in Malaysia, where he broke more than he fixed, is abruptly interrupted when a man is knifed on the beach.

When Donovan makes chase, the killer steals his car. Not a wise move. Donovan is now motivated to hunt him down. His curiosity has got the better of him, anyway.

His adversary is a hitman who has travelled to Senegal to fix a few things of his own. No stranger to danger, he is closing in for another kill.

The thrilling game of cat-and-mouse that ensues leaves the busy markets and bars of Dakar and heads into tropical forests and arid savannah, where poachers, smugglers, crocs, and lions, are all waiting to pounce.

Will Donovan get his man or has he met his match?

This is the second standalone thriller in the Max Donovan adventures series. The full list of books is as follows:

1. ONE BEATS THE BUSH
2. WITH TOOTH AND NAIL
3. THE SERPENT'S LAIR
4. BLOOD ON THE SANDS

Also available with Kindle Unlimited and in paperback is the author's gripping thriller MURDER MOUNTAIN.

Before retiring in 2020, he split his time between Purdue University in Indiana and the University of Cambridge in the UK.He is the author of eight academic books on anthropology and numerous articles.
