Song of the Starlings - T. M. Clark - Bog

In a race against time, can they hunt down one child in the vastness of Africa?
South African ex-security contractor Chrystal Booysen has officially retired to her family game stud farm after her last mission took a dark turn.
Corruption-fighting magnate Curtis Wilson hires American private investigator Rowan Zackery to rescue his daughter. But Rowan is out of his depth in Africa, and he needs Chrystal's expertise. The longer Akina is missing, the more people presume she's dead. And he doesn't want to find yet another body...
As they investigate, Chrystal grapples with the unsettling evidence that her estranged childhood friend, Mother Stella-Rose, is involved somehow in the disappearance of the children.
Akina is in the clutches of Levi Louw, an unhinged and dangerous criminal who works for Mother Stella-Rose. Driven by greed and power, he'll do anything to make a profit.
As they chase the elusive trail, can they save Akina, or will they be too late.
