Book Review on Crime and Terror in the Jungle
This is a fictional novel set in Sri Lanka and South Gippsland Victoria Australia.
It features the wild life parks of Sri Lanka where the male protagonist from Australia, leads a team of conservationists from Sri Lanka, into the wild life parks of Sri Lanka, fighting poachers killing elephants and other wild life.
He is Digby Trott, a mid-twenties man seeking justice for the stealing of his pet elephant when he was a child on holidays from his Colombo school and staying with his maternal grandparents on their tea estate. A wealthy neighbour had gifted the pet to him and the neighbour cared for his pet on the neighbour’s property.
In Sri Lanka he is attacked, along with other members of his team, and Digby suffers a head injury with dire consequences. Treatment is of no avail, until, on the advice of his treating doctors in Australia, he has to return to the scene of the crime, in the Wilpattu National Park to trial a cure. There he meets with danger and is only saved in the nick of time. This eventually brings the desired results, but only with the assistance of his parents, friends, and loyal girlfriend. Adventure, crime, and retribution are the themes of this novel.
One reviewer states that there is lots happening in the novel to keep the reader’s interest, with vivid descriptions of the Sri Lankan landscapes, weather, food, jungles and culture.
The book is available on Amazon in both print and e book formats.
