A compelling human drama of desire, adventure and betrayal in the savage loveliness of the deepest jungle. In this safari through the game preserves of Kruger National Park, the visiting predators exhibit greater savagery than the resident hyenas, baboons, crocodiles and other carnivores. Meanest of the tourists on this six‐day jaunt is a slip of a girl named Vicky Lehman, a masseuse in private life. Vicky has eyes for an older woman's lover, a strapping, guitar‐playing lout named Dan Reade—and on the road to Bulawayo and Ladysmith, she has a chance to do her damndest.

Work Description
Set in the steaming wilderness of South Africa, this story probes deep into the torrid passageways of the human heart, as six travelers, on safari through a vast game preserve, find themselves caught in an ever-tightening web of passion and intrigue....
For Stella Hargraves, it begins as a time of happiness. Divorced, forty (ish), she is in love with Dan Reade, 20 years her junior. He poses as her 'nephew' though everyone else sees past their ruse. Dan is a sensual, handsome pop singer on the rise, thanks to Stella's money and affection. But he begins to slip through her fingers: Vicky Lehman, a pale, intense young woman, has her eye on Dan... and he seems to be responding....
As events unfold, tensions within the camp rise inexorably. With her characteristic insight and compassion, Charity Blackstock brings each of her six travelers to the inevitable moment of self-realization that will determine their destinies.
