In 1910, Olive MacLeod, a thirty-year-old, redheaded Scottish aristocrat, received word that her fiance, the famous naturalist Boyd Alexander, was missing in Africa. So she went to find him. It is the thrilling true story of her astonishing journey. In jungles, swamps, cities, and deserts, Olive and her two companions, the Talbots, come face-to-face with cobras and crocodiles, wise native chiefs, a murderous leopard cult, a haunted forest, and even two adorable lion cubs that she adopts as her own. Making her way in a pair of ill-fitting boots, Olive awakens to the many forces around her, from shadowy colonial powers to an invisible Islamic warlord who may hold the key to Boyd's disappearance. As these secrets begin to unravel, all of Olive's assumptions prove wrong, and she is forced to confront the darkest, most shocking secret of all: why she really came to Africa in the first place.
