Book description
Georgie Allen - Cape Town's most down-at-heel lawyer - is back. And
this time, for some unfathomable reason, his In tray is bulging (and for
a change not just with pro bono cases). A promiscuous professor with
serious political connections - who may or may not have murdered one of
his students - and the country's first gay divorce, involving an
American millionaire, top the pile. But just when it appears that things
are finally coming together for Georgie (except for his already
complicated love life, which seems to be taking a disasterous turn) his
new-found success is put into perspective when he receives a panicked
call from his brother Greg, a game ranger in neighbouring Botswana. A
twelve-year-old child has been blinded in a horrific hyena attack, and
the victim's parents are accusing Greg of negligence. With his brother's
career on the line, Georgie heads north to investigate, accompanied by
his ever-present sidekick, feisty Scots advocate Patrick McLennan (aka
the Poison Dwarf), whose bush skills prove to be as dubious as his
personal eating plan. Will Georgie be able to save his brother from
financial ruin and simultaneously keep his high-profile clients happy
back home and his turbulent love life under control? Only time will
tell, but one thing's for sure - it's going to be a hell of a ride.
