Danger woman

the long version

One night in Chobe National Park, Ole Anderson, an expert on hyena behavior who's leading a group of trustees from the foundation that funds his research, spots a human skull after witnessing a group of hyenas chasing off a lone lion. Ole brings the grim discovery to park ranger Sanderson, now superintendent of her district, who has been dealing with a "rash of deaths, bodies, and/or their separated parts appearing in her park." Kgabo Modise, her policeman friend from Gaborone, believes the bloodshed to be the product of the plans of the Russian gang the Bratva to expand their influence into the country. The Bratva are led by Irena Davidova, a sex-trafficking victim turned master manipulator, who's the danger woman of the title--Publishers Weekly.
