Mystery in Harare: Priscilla's Journey into Southern Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578195193)

Mystery in Harare is the second installment in the Priscilla trilogy-turned-series.

The bride pauses for an instant before walking down the aisle to marry a man she likes but does not love, and in that hesitant moment, a shot rings out, and then another. The groom falls. Blood stains the sanctuary.

Priscilla J. "PJ" Austin, a magnetic, up-and-coming baby boomer, catches a glimpse of the shooter before everything blacks out for the bride...

Set in the mid1980s, Mystery in Harare Priscilla's Journey into Southern Africa is a stylish, fast-paced, character-driven thriller that unravels the secrets behind this carnage at a Midwestern American Black church.

Priscilla's fortitude is sorely tried as she awakens, sometime later, sedated and confused, on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe, to face the adventure of her life. She is "stashed" away, more than once, down deep into the savannas and wilds of southern Africa--Zimbabwe and early post-apartheid-ruled South Africa--where she falls prey to vicious South African terrorists.

Along the way, there is mayhem, murder, mistaken identities, and a barbed reunion with a swarthy, intrepid, special operative, who may be her one true love.

Priscilla has little choice but to learn how to fend for herself in places and ways she never imagined. For sure, she never envisioned herself in early post-apartheid Zimbabwe and South Africa on the run from assassins.
