ADVANCE INFORMATION
AN EMPTY COAST
TONY PARK
A father will do anything to solve the mystery of his son’s disappearance.
A mother will do anything to find her daughter.
A man tries to keep both parents alive.
Sonja Kurtz – former soldier, supposedly retired mercenary – is in Vietnam carrying
out a personal revenge mission when her daughter sends a call for help.
Emma is on a dig at the edge of Namibia’s Etosha National Park studying
archaeology and she’s discovered a body that dates back to the country’s liberation
war of the 1980s.
The remains, identified as Hudson Brand, are a key piece of a puzzle that will
reveal the location of a modern-day buried treasure. A find people will kill for. Sonja
returns to the country of her birth to help Emma, but she’s missing.
Former CIA agent Hudson Brand is very much alive and is also drawn back to
Namibia to finally solve a decades-old mystery whose clues are entombed in an
empty corner of the desert.
‘Australian author Park, who spends much of this time living in South Africa, writes
in the same vein as Wilbur Smith and Bryce Courtenay, with a deep love for the
African bush and wildlife.’
