SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE
This is the Third book in the Dalton Family Trilogy, following on from Vengeance in the Sky. Craig Dalton - a successful English vet, pilot, accomplished polo player, inveterate womaniser - enjoys an enviable lifestyle in Africa. When he falls in love with a beautiful American girl on safari, his world seems complete. But everything disintegrates when Craig's past re-emerges to haunt him. Distraught, he returns to England where a serial killer, known as the 'Bristol Beast', is murdering young prostitutes. Craig becomes involved. Yet this exciting story begins in Rhodesia and ends in today's Zimbabwe, with a brutalised girl playing a pivotal role in Craig's life.

This gripping saga of love, hatred, injustice and revenge is set in Africa, America, Belgium and England, places the author knows well.
