Synopsis

Leo Painter is the CEO of Earth Global, a large energy, mining, and realestate development firm. He and his party of company executives are traveling in Botswana to consult with the government about accessing their extractable resources. Sekoa is a male lion who shares with his bipedal enemies the misfortune of being the bearer of HIV/AIDS. Weakened by the disease, he loses his place as the alpha male in his pride and now, dying and harassed by a pack of hyenas, seeks only a place to rest in peace. Painter, pursued by his own hyenas, only wishes to find a last resting place where he can further his dream: to build a resort/casino on Botswanas Chobe River. Their paths cross with tragic consequences as police, a plucky woman game warden, and myriad local authorities, hoteliers, and tribesmen, vie over what happened and to whom.

My favorite elements: the time in Botswana, the gameke......more
