First published 2022
East Africa, 1750. Lachlan McKenzie's isolated trading post is destroyed by an armed attack that kills his family and leaves him committed to finding the man responsible. His pursuit begins across ports and wilderness shaped by the slave trade, piracy and the rivalry of European commercial empires.
The trail eventually leads toward India, where British and French companies employ local alliances and private armies in the Carnatic conflicts. Lachlan's search for justice becomes a struggle to survive forces larger than the original crime, setting up the continued reckoning in An Ambush of Tigers.
