Book description
The engaging sequel to Nicholas Drayson's much-loved
A Guide to the Birds of East Africa

Ornithological Society.
Mr Malik has been busy planning the Asadi Club's annual safari. Yet
a series of crimes puts the club's very existence at risk. It is up to
Mr Malik and Co. to solve a decades-old murder, recover the club
mascot and identify, once and for all, the most dangerous beast in Africa.
Not to mention his only daughter may - or may not - be getting
married in a week.
Will Mr Malik again prevail over Kenyan politics, a reluctant bride
and buried secrets?
