Excerpt
The Night is dark; there is no moon in the sky as the night creatures’ move about the jungle of the Congo Basin. Another creature moves among them.
The edge of the jungle opens onto a small clearing, a foot path leads towards the hut, the flicker of a candle can be seen in the window, and a shadow is thrown from the light.
The visitor watches and waits, he is patient as is the way of his kind. The door to the hut opens and a woman emerges. She moves up along the path directly towards the watcher, unaware of being observed.
With a shriek of an attacking leopard, the watcher rises from the darkness and launches itself at her, the woman screams in terror, but help will not come as her family are huddled together, safe in the hut. None will venture out for fear of what is hidden by the darkness.
Day reveals the scene of her death; the ground and bushes around her body are covered in her blood, her badly mutilated corpse and the spoor around her pay testimony to her killer. The leopard has once again claimed a victim.

Blood Spoor in the Dark
“...superstition and the suspense it creates grips you as a reader...”
reviewed by Sub01
A very well written follow up to his Blood Moon [Over Africa]. The characters in the novel are believable and I found them growing on me. The story is fast paced with twists and turns. The use of superstition and the suspense it creates grips you as a reader and makes it a very worthwhile read. All the best to the author.
