African Sky

An epic wartime adventure in the heart of Africa.

Rhodesia, 1943: Paul Bryant hasn’t been able to get back in an aircraft since a fatal bombing mission over Germany. Instead, the Squadron Leader is flying a desk at a pilot training school in Africa when one of his trainees is reported missing.

Pip Lovejoy, a volunteer policewoman, is also trying to suppress painful memories. When Felicity Langham, a high profile WAAF from the air base, is found raped and murdered, Pip and Bryant’s paths cross.

Suspicion immediately falls on the local black community, but Pip’s investigations unearth a link between the Squadron Leader, the controversial heiress Catherine De Beers and the dead woman, which throws the case in a new, disturbing direction.

What Pip thinks is a singular crime of passion soon escalates into a crisis that could change the course of the war.

African Sky is the first instalment in Tony Park’s acclaimed Story of Zimbabwe series.
