With one bound, the leopard smashed Martine to the earth. His great paws thudded against her chest, his claws pierced her skin, and then she was on the ground winded and in pain... ‘Please don’t hurt me,’ she whispered. ‘All I want to do is help you.’

Martine is looking forward to the holidays and riding Jeremy, her white giraffe, until an accident sends her and Ben on a journey to the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe. There they uncover a plot in which the gate of a magnificent leopard and the lost treasure of an African King are mysteriously linked.

In this third African adventure, Martine and Ben must use every survival skill the possess as they race against time to save the world’s rarest leopard – and each other.
