The Angel of St Piran
“NOT ALL OF THIS IS TRUE. But some surely is. Most of it, I hope.”
When five wealthy trophy hunters descend upon a remote African forest, they
overlook the passionate young researcher, Angel Restorick, who has learned to
communicate with the chimpanzees she studies. As the hunters close in, Angel
must use her unique bond with the chimps to outwit the human predators.
From the Cornish village of St Piran to the jungles of Tanzania and back, this
gripping tale weaves themes of conservation, connection, and courage against
exploitation
