English Summary/英文概要： For lovers of Alexander McCall Smith, the engaging follow up to Nicholas Drayson’s much-loved A Guide to the Birds of East Africa sees the return of Mr Malik and the East African Ornithological Society.
Mr Malik has been busy planning the Asadi Club’s annual safari. But a series of crimes puts the club’s very existence at risk. It is up to Mr Malik and Co. to solve a decades-old murder, recover the club mascot and identify, once and for all, the most dangerous beast in Africa.
Not to mention his only daughter may, or may not, be getting married in a week.
Will Mr Malik again prevail over Kenyan politics, a reluctant bride and unrevealed secrets?
