Eunis Kindsvatter gets a job with Weather One due to her ability to sense changes in the weather. She moves from Minnesota to New York and stays with her friend Ruthie. Ruthie's niece, Kyra, has gone missing in Tanzania, and when Eunis is offered the opportunity to travel to Africa with work, Ruthie persuades Eunis to track down Kyra. Both Kyra and Eunis are albino girls. Albinism in Africa carries its own superstitions with the local tribes who believe the body parts to be Muti medicine by the local witch doctors.
Eunis travels to South Africa, ditches her colleagues and so begins a whirlwind of a cross-country adventure to uncover the truth about Kyra's whereabouts. This adventure stars a host of characters, mostly untrustworthy and mostly trying to kill Eunis! There are planes and cars, sharks and dogs, spider wasp infections, Danish tourists, double-crossings, trade-offs, kidnappings, chases, storms, near drownings galore and a hunt for the 'Hyena', leader of the Albino hunters.
This is a great mix of thriller, magic, superstition and adventure with a beautiful backdrop of Africa. Eunis is a tenacious character who doesn't give up, even when told to by everyone around her. There is a chorus of fantastic, colourful characters. A real page-turner of a book.
