Following his adventure on the California Comet, artist and amateur sleuth Hal Beck is back and looking forward to another railway journey with his journalist uncle, this time riding the historic Safari Star through South Africa. Then he soon finds himself drawn into another mystery when one of their fellow passengers dies on board! Accident… or murder? With help from a new friend and his friend’s pet mongoose, Hal is determined to figure out if a murder has really taken place and, if so, who amongst a long list of suspects is the killer–all before the Safari Star arrives at its final destination.
Elisa Paganelli was born in Modena, Italy, and since childhood has considered books to be her best friends. After a career in advertising and as an entrepreneur, she now works as an illustrator, often accompanied by her beloved pets. Elisa’s award-winning books include The Highland Falcon Thief (named a Waterstones Book of the Month), The House with Chicken Legs, and Moon’s First Friends. Her aim is to be involved in sustainable projects, and she feels most at home when she’s out in the natural world. On her bedside table one will find a pile of psychology books, and very often one of her cats. Elisa now lives in the United Kingdom.
