In the savannas of East Africa, where endangered elephants are illegally slaughtered for their ivory, undercover wildlife avenger Venus Diamond faces down a savage band of big-game poachers who deserve every bit of what Venus delivers. Might the orphaned elephant calves she rescues portend the gathering menace of rising terror on the other side of the planet? Venus is suddenly yanked halfway around the world, where two terrified orphan children are stalked by brutal killers, and she's forced to confront the question: When—if ever—is kidnapping justified? From sizzling equatorial hotspots to remote Canadian mountains, Venus Diamond once again tangles with soul-stirring issues, this time asking herself why she's risking everything for a species that—in her mind—is far too prolific. Hold tight to your kids.
