When Verity White is forced to relinquish her hard-won position as a magazine editor after her husband James loses his airline job in the bitter Australian Pilots' Dispute, she reluctantly follows him to the dusty frontier town of Maun, gateway to Botswana's breathtaking Okavango Delta. As James reconnects with his childhood roots as a bush pilot, flying tourists between luxury safari lodges, Verity feels adrift and disconnected. Desperate for purpose, she accepts a job as a safari hostess to the charismatic hunter, Starky Willis. Yet, as Verity immerses herself in the untamed beauty of the African bush on a ten-day overland safari, she becomes entangled in a web of long-buried secrets and simmering tensions. At its core lies the mysterious death of James's cousin on a hunting expedition fifteen years prior—an ill-fated venture led by the very man now employing Verity. The harsh beauty of the Kalahari might fool some, but deadly secrets lie hidden, and danger lurks as Verity and James are drawn into a perilous world of poaching, corruption, and murder. "Whispers in the Kalahari" is a standalone romantic suspense that blends the sweeping romance of "Out of Africa" with the heart-pounding tension of "The Constant Gardener." For fans of Beverley Harper and Samantha Ford who love second-chance love stories set against breathtaking African landscapes, dangerous secrets, and edge-of-your-seat thrills.
