​Tony Park is the author of 19 novels set in Africa and six non fiction biographies. He’s written at least one novel a year since Far Horizon was released in 2004. Since then he’s spent half his life in Africa – six months of every year living in the African bush where he researches and writes his books – and the remainder of the year in Sydney.

“Since Wilbur Smith in his heyday, no one has written as well about southern Africa as Tony Park.” Crime Review (UK)
