Fossil is the fourth fast-paced African mystery in the Jazz Jasper series. This time we journey to Tanzania, to the world famous Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey’s discovered the missing link between apes and men. An all-star team of international scientists has uncovered a hominid skull which will shed light on the big question of human nature: was it killing or cooperation that was the driving force behind human evolution? Explosive rivalries--personal, professional and racial-- are tearing the archeological team apart. Human predatory behavior intrudes into the natural order. One of the Tanzanian paleontologists is murdered and the fossil stolen. An innocent camp servant is arrested for the crime, plunging Jazz and Omondi into the search for the real killer. Their pursuit of clues leads them through dramatic African adventures of the sort readers have come to expect from previous Jazz Jasper mysteries. Clues, plot twists and African adventures are integrated into a realistic world of wildlife brought to life in vivid detail. For readers who have enjoyed the wild animals in previous books, Fossil will focus on the predators--lions, leopards, wild dogs and hyenas--who gather in the Serengeti to feast during one of the great animal spectacles on earth, the mass migration.
