Wings over the Okavango - EBOOK #2 (PRE-ORDER)

Wings over Africa - Book 2

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

1995, Botswana

Six months after a reckless night with charismatic bush pilot Nick Hartley left her heart exposed, flight attendant Angie has rebuilt her defenses—until a broken wrist and a shattered romance with a married captain force her back to Maun to heal.

When she encounters Thomas Heinrich on her final flight, she learns his father Kurt—a wealthy German hunter and longtime safari client—has died in what appears to be a tragic buffalo accident. But as Angie stands beside Thomas at the funeral, an insurance investigator arrives with devastating news: Kurt Heinrich was murdered.

Someone filed down his rifle's firing pin, sending him into the Okavango wilderness defenseless. Someone shot him in the leg before driving him toward a buffalo that delivered the killing blow. And someone in Maun's tight-knit community is a cold-blooded killer.

As the investigation unfolds, suspects emerge from the shadows:

Charlize van der Merwe - Kurt's beautiful mistress stands to inherit two million rand. But did she know the insurance policy required them to be married?

Corbus van der Merwe - Charlize's violent ex-husband, who once vowed to kill any man who touched his wife, has been spotted working as a mechanic in Maun. Coincidence?

The Mysterious Guest - Kurt's letters mentioned a "business associate" joining the final week of the safari. They never showed up—officially. But did they come in secret?

Starky Willis - Angie's estranged father, the safari operator, had an affair with Charlize six years ago. Does he have more to hide?

Trapped in Maun by travel restrictions, Angie finds herself pulled deeper into the investigation—and back into Nick Hartley's dangerous orbit. He's returned from Zaire, unable to forget the woman who disappeared from his bed. She's determined not to fall for another charming pilot who reminds her of everything she's sworn to avoid—her womanizing father, the married captain who broke her heart.

But with a killer among them, Thomas desperate for answers, and her father emerging as the prime suspect, Angie can't walk away. As she and Nick work together to uncover the truth, old wounds reopen and dangerous secrets surface—including Nick's own hidden past that places him at the scene of the crime.

Photographer Saskia's aerial photographs reveal someone was at the camp who shouldn't have been. Antonio the tracker noticed the buffalo tracks were "wrong"—staged, perhaps. And Charlize's desperate attempts to claim the insurance money before the investigation concludes suggest she knows more than she's telling.

In the unforgiving beauty of the Okavango Delta—where water meets sky, where lions roar in the darkness, and where the past refuses to stay buried—Angie must navigate dangerous suspects, buried family secrets, and her complicated feelings for a man who's either her salvation or her biggest mistake.

Because in Maun, some secrets are worth dying for.

And some are worth killing for.
