Now, a tattered photograph that was clutched in the hand of a dying man holds a clue that brings them back together…and hides a secret that is making them a target of an assassin. Hunted through South Africa’s Kruger National Park to Zambia, Australia, and back to Rwanda, the three must bring themselves to confront not just the scars of a nation and a continent, but of their own hearts.
