A Guide To The Beasts Of East Africa (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Petula’s fiancé Salman has managed to get some extra time off. He must have taken the afternoon flight from Dubai and Petula has picked him up from the airport after her CI meeting. Perhaps he has already checked into the hotel, and the two love birds are enjoying a drink together before a night on the town – or somewhere more private perhaps. Actually, no. Salman, I have to reveal, is still sitting at his desk in his office on the thirty-second floor of the TransAsia building in downtown Dubai. He is double-checking the week’s spreadsheets, and by the look of them he will soon be burning the midnight oil (of which, despite all Salman’s long hours, Dubai still has a reasonable supply). You will be pleased to hear, though, that this is not too much of a chore, for Salman has always loved figures – especially when those figures represent large sums of dollars, euros, pounds or yen. But if Petula’s fiancé is still in Dubai then who, I hear you ask, is this other chap – this tall, rather good-looking chap – sitting next to her in the Jockey Bar of the Hilton Hotel late on a Thursday night in downtown Nairobi?
