Enter the Goodreads giveaway for White Man's Grave by Richard Dooling. A razor-sharp, darkly comic novel that dives headfirst into the chaos of cross-cultural collision. When Peace Corps volunteer Michael Killigan vanishes in West Africa, two men set out to find him: Randall, his father, and a gleefully ruthless bankruptcy lawyer who rules his domain like a warlord, and Boone Westfall, Michael’s best friend, a wide-eyed American navigating the bush with little more than a passport and privilege.
Their search leads them deep into a world teeming with witch-finders, bush devils, shape-shifters, village chiefs, and medicine men, where the line between satire and sorcery blurs. What begins as a rescue mission becomes a wild, eye-opening journey through the entangled forces of tradition, politics, and the absurd.
White Man's Grave is a bold, biting exploration of culture, power, and the unexpected truths that emerge when worlds collide.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Women Who Stand Between by Jeannée Sacken. Julia Wilde is a top-tier wildlife cinematographer, but her career takes a devastating hit after a tragic accident on set in southern Africa, an accident she’s wrongly blamed for. Blacklisted and out of options, she lands a teaching job at a Midwestern university, only to learn that securing tenure means making another film.
Determined to reclaim her reputation, Julia returns to Zimbabwe with a tight-knit crew of filmmaking friends to document the Mambas, an all-female anti-poaching unit known for their courage and relentless fight to protect endangered wildlife. What begins as a professional comeback becomes a powerful story of resilience, justice, and the women who risk everything to stand between life and extinction.
