Infos

He sees her form, slipping around every corner, her eye peering from every window, her growl behind the traffic rumble.When a lion at a breeding park mauls an old school friend of his, Con steps in as the keeper of Sekhmet, the last remaining black-maned lioness in the world.In a Cape Town where fences keep people and wildlife apart, park officials and investors fret about their flagship big-cat project. And as Con grows steadily more bonded to his enigmatic charge, and confronts his own dark history, a cult of animal lovers seeks to claim the lioness as its own.
