Book Description
Rhodesia, 1943: Paul Bryant hasn’t been able to get back in a plane since a fatal bombing mission over Germany. So, instead, the Squadron Leader is flying a desk at a pilot training school at Kumalo air base. But one of his trainees has just been reported missing.
Pip Lovejoy, a volunteer policewoman, is also trying to suppress painful memories. When Felicity Langham, a high profile WAAF from the air base, is found raped and murdered, Pip and Bryant’s paths cross.
Suspicion immediately falls on the local black community, but Pip’s investigations unearth a link between the Squadron Leader, the controversial heiress Catherine De Beers and the dead woman, which throws the case in a new, disturbing direction.
What Pip thinks is a singular crime of passion soon escalates into a crisis that could change the course of the war.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Released at Green Sage Café, Templestowe, Saturday 10 October 2015. To whoever picks up - ENJOY.
Caught at today's meet-up, on to Mt TBR.
The story's backdrop is WW2 however it is somewhat removed from the turmoil as it focuses mainly on Africa. There are some wonderful descriptions of the scenery and wildlife, so vivid it could entice one to visit!
The story starts off slowly, carefully developing the Bryant character and the plot which, eventually morphs into a very readable saga, with a touch of romance and plenty of action.
Worth reading.
