Kidnapped on Safari

A filmmaker’s search for a kidnapped safari guide pulls him into a massive terrorist plot in this action-packed, international thriller.

Film producer Pero Baltazar’s last job has him filming on Kenya’s Lake Rudolf for a television nature show with the help of his friend, Mbuno, an expert tracker and safari guide. But their idyllic escape is soon spoiled by terrifying news: Mbuno’s nephew has been kidnapped while leading a safari five hundred miles away in Tanzania.

As they begin their search, they find a trail of clues that leads to a shocking discovery. The kidnappers have ties to an illegal logging operation run by sinister mercenaries from Boko Haram. They pose an even bigger threat than just human trafficking and deforestation. Rescuing Mbuno’s nephew will not only risk their lives but also the political stability of the entire region . . .

Perfect for readers of John le Carré, Daniel Silva, and Iris Johansen.
