In the early nineteen-seventies, Mark and Delia Owens, two graduate students in biology at the University of Georgia, were seized by the idea of resettling in remotest Africa. They organized an auction, sold their possessions, and used the modest proceeds to buy camping equipment and a pair of one-way air tickets to Johannesburg....The story progresses until these two people find themselves locked in a deadly struggle against ivory poachers, poverty and corrupt government officials.
Heard this one before, right?
No you haven't.
The Hunted is a long, slow-boil story that starts with youth and idealism - and ends with a dead body dumped in a lagoon.
