Protection Racket

As wildlife killing fields move inexorably south, Mozambican poachers have the Kruger National Park's elephants firmly in their sights.  Njovu is a prime target - the last of the region's big tuskers, with ivory that weighs in at over 180 pounds.  But these old, wise creatures are seldom seen; they are wary of humans and flit through the bush like ghosts.

Njovu's survival hangs in the balance when he becomes the prize in a trophy hunt taking place in the vast private reserves bordering the protected area. The hunt will allegedly fund conservation efforts. Aimee Robertson, local environmental journalist covering South African poaching issues, works with a non-profit to save Njovu. At first, they appear to succeed.

But a maverick poaching gang is determined to find and kill the gentle giant for its tusks no matter what. Aimee suddenly finds herself pitted against both her own husband and a poaching gang who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Will she reach Njovu in time?
