Book Description
In the blink of an eye, his whole life changed. Now he’s back in search of answers. But will the truth destroy him? When seventeen-year-old Christian Bekker killed a poacher, he claimed it was self-defense. But the judge disagreed. He gave Christian a choice: go to prison or leave his home in South Africa and never return. Following his father’s suicide, conservation director Dr. Christian Bekker uncovers a plea from the grave to find out what really happened on that fateful day more than twenty years ago. Suddenly, he’s on a plane headed for Johannesburg, leaving behind his life in London in search of answers. Were his father’s suspicions correct or the result of twenty years spent dreaming about what might have been? All thoughts of staying under the radar disappear as his past plunges him into a murky and profitable world where the police and government officials conspire with criminals to exploit what remains of South Africa’s wildlife. Soon he finds himself in the criminals’ sights… Blood on the Veld is the first book in the Christian Bekker Wildlife Crime Thriller series, featuring compelling characters, surprising plot twists and a man searching for the truth. If you like an action-packed adventure that delves into the depths of corruption, power and greed, then you’ll love the first installment in award-winning author S. A. McLain’s page-turning series. Harlan Coben meets Wilbur Smith with a touch of Carl Hiaasen.
