Terrified and heartbroken, Randall Crookshank packs his bags, a plane ticket purchased. Naïve as to where he's going, Randall is greeted with buzzing cars and hordes of people. It's Piccadilly Circus. Not the tranquillity of the African bush where the lions roar, the elusive leopard hides, or the fish eagle that haunts the skies. It's not Rhodesia. Friendless and alone, reluctant to rely on Uncle Paul's charity, he finds lodgings in Notting Hill Gate. Eventually finding his feet, Randall makes new friends, including feisty, little Amanda Hanscombe. But there's more to Amanda than meets the eye... Randall Crookshank's new life takes him far from home and not only to the hustle of London but to the magnetism of New York City. And there in New York, Randall meets up with the luscious Hayley Oosthuizen. She offers him a tempting proposal. But will it be enough to seduce him or will he find himself in jeopardy once again? is the eleventh outing in the gripping Brigandshaw Chronicles series.
