Tough, streetwise Riedwaan Faizal, a member of the South African Police’s elite Gang Unit, is used to being a target. But when his one-man anti-gang war envelops his only daughter and he becomes the prime suspect in her abduction, there is little he can do. Distraught, Faizal turns to Clare Hart for help. Their desperate search for the missing child, whose chances of survival diminish with each hour, unravels a terrible web of deception and danger, and marks the start of an explosive relationship. 367pp (UK editor: Laura Palmer US editor: Margaux Weismann).

Australian writer Tony Park fell in love with South Africa on a short trip in 1995 and he and his wife now divide their time between their home in Sydney and a home near the Kruger Park.


Author of several non-fiction titles (see non-fiction section), as well as many bestselling action-packed thrillers for Quercus in the UK and Macmillan Australia: FAR HORIZON (ANZ: Macmillan 2004; UK: Quercus 2012; Czech Republic: Dobrovsky 2007; Holland: De Boekerij 2004RR; Hungary: Gold Book 2012; Italy: TEA 2007), ZAMBEZI (ANZ: Macmillan 2005; UK: Quercus 2011; Hungary: Gold Book 2012; Latvia: Kontinents^), AFRICAN SKY (ANZ: Macmillan 2006; UK: Macmillan 2007 RR; Quercus 2012; Germany: Blanvalet 2007; Hungary: Gold Book 2013; Italy: TEA 2008), SAFARI (ANZ: Macmillan 2007; UK: Quercus 2011), SILENT PREDATOR (ANZ: Macmillan 2008, UK: Quercus 2010; Italy: TEA^); IVORY (ANZ: Macmillan 2007; UK: Quercus^; Russia: AST^, US: St Martins^), AFRICAN DAWN (ANZ: Macmillan 2012; Quercus 2012) and DARK HEART (ANZ: Macmillan 2007; UK: Quercus^).

‘Master of the African thriller’ Daily Mail
‘Park's heroes are tough, blokey types – soldiers and coppers – and his heroines sassy and smart, but Africa always steals the show…a great way to spend a winter evening, transported to somewhere warm and exotic.' Georgia Gowing, The Independent Weekly
THE PREY Thriller

‘When Tony Park penned his novel about illegal gold mining in South Africa, not even he could have imagined just how prescient his story would be. … Another ripping yarn based on realistic scenarios in the classic African adventure genre.’ – Bruce MacDougall, Sydney Daily Telegraph


Deep underground in the Eureka mine, South Africa’s zama zamas illegally hunt for gold. King of this brutal underworld is Wellington Shumba – a man who rules his pirate miners through fear of torture and death.
Running Eureka’s legitimate operation is former recce-commando Cameron McMurtrie. When one of his engineers is taken hostage, Cameron does not hesitate to mastermind a dramatic rescue – and finish it off with a manhunt for Wellington. That is until corporate interference from the mine’s Australian head office, in the shape of ambitious high-flyer Kylie Hamilton, gets in his way. Doctor Hamilton is visiting South Africa supposedly to finalise a new mine on the border of the famed Kruger National Park, but instead she and Cameron are forced into a partnership to fend off an environmental war above ground, and a deadly battle with a ruthless killer below. Cameron and Kylie have become Wellington’s prey. They must unite – their lives depend on it. 470pp (UK editor: Jane Wood, US editor: Keith Kahla, Australian editor: Cate Paterson).

THE DELTA Thriller

After a failed assassination attempt on the president of Zimbabwe, ex-soldier turned mercenary Sonja Kurtz is on the run and heads for her only place of refuge, the Okavango Delta in the heart of Botswana. She’s looking to rekindle a romance with her childhood sweetheart, safari camp manager Sterling Smith, and desperately wants a fresh start and to leave her perilous warrior lifestyle behind. But Sonja discovers her beloved Delta is on the brink of destruction. She is recruited as an “eco-commando” in a bid to halt a project that will destroy forever the Delta’s fragile network of swamps and waterways.


Soon Sonja finds herself caught in a deadly web of intrigue involving Sterling, the handsome Martin Steele – her mercenary commander, and a TV heartthrob and wildlife documentary presenter “Coyote” Sam Chapman who blunders out of the bush in a reality show gone wrong. Instead of escaping her violent past, Sonja is now surrounded by men who are relying on her killer instincts to save the day. Where she came to find peace, she finds war… and it is not just the survival of the Delta that is at stake. St Martins publish in October 2014. 487pp.
