Published in 1978. Looks good for its age. Spine not creased, no dog ears, no markings on pages. Cover and paper edges show some minor shelf wear/scuffing. An old price sticker on the back cover.
The beast
A rare black leopard moves silently through the night, across the bleak and savage heart of Botswana’s Kalahari desert.
The bait
An English zoologist, Alison Welborough-Smith, has followed it for months, watching it feed, watching it kill.
The hunter
Jerry Haston was the best. But now, drink-sodden and without a licence, he has one last chance – a mission he knows to be insane.
The trap
Fuelled by repression and hate, a terrorist plot explodes into the sun-scarred arena, with Alison and Haston at its core. And the leopard’s track becomes a trail of death… Blood spoor.
