Descripción 8vo; original dark green boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xviii + 232 + (i); plates. Dustwrapper very slightly creased; spine a touch cocked; very occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "In January 2006, shortly after midnight, Joan Root, an Oscar-nominated wildlife filmmaker and passionate conservationist, was murdered in her bedroom by two masked men with an AK-47 on the shore of Kenya's beautiful Lake Naivasha. Was it a random robbery gone bad, as the local police seemed to think, or was it a cold-blooded contract killing carried out at the behest of enemies she had made in her efforts to protect Kenya's wildlife? Veteran journalist Mark Seal sets out to investigate this gripping real-life murder mystery and finds and unforgettable story. . Joan Root was a remarkable woman who dreamed of a bright future for Kenya. This is her amazing story.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 10783
