Struggling journalist Paige Remington leaves San Francisco for South Africa, determined to revive her failing career with a hard-hitting exposé on rhino poaching.
Danger strikes almost immediately when poachers ambush Paige’s tour group. She survives only because she is rescued by Spencer, a man who claims to work for the FBI. He says he wants to save the rhinos and offers to help her with her story, but as he exposes her to a world she would never see on her own, she becomes embroiled in the brutal underworld of the rhino horn trade herself. Paige discovers that Spencer is not who he claims to be, and suspects he’s in the rhino poaching business himself.
Caught between her ambition and her survival, Paige must decide whether to continue learning about the world of rhino poaching from Spencer and risk becoming the next casualty, or leave for home while she still can.
Journalist Paige Remington may be desperate for a story that will save her career, but she didn’t count on having to risk her life.
Author Deven Greene delves into the secretive world of rhino poaching in Rhino Horn Underground. From the opening scene, it is clear that Paige is in the midst of danger.
In South Africa, the action is non-stop as Paige’s tour group is ambushed by poachers. She must trust Spencer, who says he works for the FBI. His actions, however, push him into morally gray territory.
The concept of lab-made rhino horns offers a unique opportunity to help protect these animals. However, Spencer’s motivations aren’t altogether altruistic. Paige must determine how much she is willing to sacrifice to get the entire story.
Rhino Horn Underground delivers a fast-paced thriller that shines a light on the battle to save the rhino.
