From the back cover...
The White Rhino Hotel welcomed settlers streaming into East Africa in the great land rush just after World War I. Here, world weary aristocrat Adam Penfold plays host as his wife's erotic appetite flares even as her beauty fades.
Here, the scheming dwarf, barman Olivio Alavedo, obsessed by love and revenge, serves up ever more intoxicating pleasures "after hours." Here, everyone is accepted: a resourceful English hunter, a stunning Welshwoman, a pair of rapacious Irishmen, an American cowboy, an African chief torn between two cultures, a Portuguese double-dealer and his seductive sister.
They come for gold, for freedom, for adventure, for love.
They come for every reason under the burning sun...for every desire burgeoning in the jungle of the human heart...
