The Tiger's Prey Novel by Edwin Thomas and Wilbur Smith
The Malabar coast is full of dangers: greedy tradesmen, fearless pirates, and men full of vengeance. But for Courtney, the greatest danger might just be his own family...
After his father's gambling debts leave him penniless and in danger, Francis Courtney seeks revenge and fortune in South Africa. But on arrival, he uncovers a truth that leaves him overwhelmed and disoriented. Meanwhile, his cousin Christopher Courtney begins to make his own way in the world, foregoing the righteous path and falling prey to betrayal, violence, and treachery.
