As the second installment in 'The Priscilla Trilogy begins,' 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 resilience is severely tested as she awakens, sometime later, sedated and disoriented, on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe, where, even more expectedly, she finds herself on the run.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 on the run from assassins in early post-apartheid Zimbabwe and apartheid-ruled South Africa.Throughout Priscilla’s journey, readers will explore the rich history of the African continent, focusing on Zimbabwean and South African cultures, as well as its stunning landscapes and wildlife. And the minerals! Who can overlook the reasons behind the Europeans’ invasion of the territory in the first place? Diamonds, gold, platinum, and other minerals are all intricately woven into the narrative.
