Sobre IBD

With a CITES Treaty twenty-year moratorium, the Ivory market is choked. Shanagne, the only daughter to the Chinese premier, is about to turn twenty-one years. Her mother wants to pamper her with a special gift made of ivory. On the other hand, in Zimbabwe, there is an ivory warehouse with over thirty tonnes stashed, gathering dust. Security is watertight. Disguising as a tourist destined for the Mighty Victoria Falls, Penin, a showroom attendant, hooks up with Mandy, PA to the tourism minister. Together, they stealthily plan to haul out the whole lot to China and hope to outwit Africa’s most sophisticated state security. They don’t care who gets hurt as long as their plan bears fruit. Selfishness, greediness, and corruption are tools used to achieve their ambitions. Innocent lives are sacrificed, but they don’t give a damn. Can the engagement of a private investigator thwart the looting? Read on and find out the twist and turn of events.
