Cole was the owner of the Wildlife Rescue and Cheetah Conservation Centre in South Africa, just outside Underberg, KwaZulu-Natal and near to Crystalberg where Mackenzie lived. Cole would watch in admiration as Mackenzie raced the perimeter of the park; her on the outside of the high security fence, one of his cheetahs on the inside. Mackenzie was improving daily but the cheetahs always won…

Mackenzie had been in South Africa for the past two years – an American with a past, she kept her privacy and independence so no one would know her. Her distance was something that Cole respected; he knew she needed space but he hoped one day to be close enough to her to become a friend. But the day Cole and Siphiwe rescued her from an attack that could have turned deadly, their lives changed; a subtle shift along with the awareness of a danger from the unknown descended on Mackenzie and Cole.

With the knowledge that Africa’s poaching of cheetahs was in full swing, the move to stop them was fierce. But when friend and local police chief Alan confirmed the corruption which dogged their every move, Cole and his friends, along with Mackenzie knew they had no choice but to fight the poachers and extreme violence on their terms. But was it all too integrated into the darkness of Africa’s underground to succeed? The fight to save the cheetahs was a race against time…

Absolutely brilliant! Aussie author T.M. Clark has a winner with her latest release Tears of the Cheetah in my opinion. Spoken with authenticity (having been born and raised in Africa) her knowledge shines through. I could see the beautiful cheetahs; babies and adults alike. The countryside was painted in vivid pictures; the markets; the poor inhabiting the informal settlements; the constant risks – all told a believable story. The Glossary plus Fact V Fiction information at the end of the book is of great interest as well. Tears of the Cheetah is a book I highly recommend.

With thanks to the Publisher, NetGalley and the author for my copy to read and review.

This book should appeal as much to readers of Nora Roberts as Bryce Courtenay, particularly those with a fascination for big cats. Clark offers no huge surprises with her latest novel, but readers looking for a satisfying plot-driven story set in unfamiliar—and at times uncomfortable—surroundings should find Tears of the Cheetah worth a look.
