A Poacher Kill – Continued Adventures of Sopwith Jones

Name: A Poacher Kill – Continued Adventures of Sopwith Jones
Author: Alan Haller

Sopwith Jones returns in an engaging sequel to Fly Away – A Sopwith Jones Adventure. The story informs, shocks and occasionally appals the reader with its realistic depictions of the cruel, ongoing and seemingly never-ending poaching trade. Sopwith manages to apprehend Lenka, a young assistant who has helped Nkoli poach a rhino. This leads to the gradual untangling of a criminal web, involving corruptible Barnabas Masondo and newcomer Joaquim De Azevedo, who are working for an unknown kingpin, who must be found. Masondo realises that his old adversary is after him so he tries his best to outsmart Sopwith by using a hired gun. In thrilling action sequences, Sopwith evades the threats, retaliating with clever subterfuge. Will the kingpin behind this nefarious poaching scheme be found though? Action and adventure on the ground and in the air culminate in many surprises, including the introduction of a prosecutor, Zelda Martin, who plays a pivotal role and who evolves into a very colourful and important character in forthcoming Sopwith Jones novels.
