When being fit and beautiful become a health hazard.... When jet-setting playboy Jonathan Rudder's fiancee, Angela Moresby, is hacked to death in what appears to have been a sexual frenzy, Jonathan is himself the principal suspect - his maniacal moods are well known. This death is part of a pattern of horrible crimes and the police are determined to pin the whole series of gruesome murders on Jonathan. He is forced to start his own investigation, to prove his innocence - before he too becomes a victim. But as the Chief Detective-Inspector delves into Angela's murder, and another equally horrific, he slowly becomes aware of wholesale dissection. However, it is Jonathan, and his new friend, American Jennifer Brand - fiancee of another victim - who first uncover the truth about the most diabolical medical plot in history, placing their own lives in imminent danger as they do so.
When Boston widow Victoria Lang is shipwrecked with eighteen others, including two teenage girls and a four-year old boy, on the coast of West Africa, with only the Sahara Desert before them and the sea behind them, where her companions can think of nothing but death by starvation and thirst, she determines that they will survive. Having spent six years in Africa with her English missionary husband, she knows that the desert is not as empty of water as most suppose, if one knows where to look. Thus she leads her party on an epic two hundred mile walk to gain the fertile grassland to the south. To achieve this, she must drive them ever onwards, quell two mutinies and watch some of her party die. Their lives are saved when they reach an oasis, but to gain true safety they must now face Arab slaver traders, bloodthirsty Ashanti warriors, and the all-consuming forest. Victoria's walk has hardly begun. Set at the turn of the 20th Century, when the British Empire was approaching its zenith, with a handful of administrators and soldiers endeavoring to rule vast areas and dominate peoples they did not understand, VICTORIA'S WALK is a tale of the human spirit at its highest and lowest, its most courageous and its most bestial, of one woman's unceasing fortitude, of the men who loved her, and the women who hated her.
