The dark winter nights of Minnesota seem to close in on investigative journalist Crystal Nguyen as she realises that her closest friend has disappeared while researching a story on rhino poaching and rhino-horn smuggling in South Africa. Crystal is desperate to find him and wrangles her own assignment to Africa. Within a week, she's been hunted by poachers, hunted by their bosses, and arrested in connection with a murder. And everyone is after a briefcase full of money.
Fleeing South Africa, she goes undercover in Vietnam, trying to discover the truth before she's exposed by the local mafia. Discovering the plot behind the money is only half the battle. Now she must convince the South African authorities to act before it's too late-for the rhinos and for her.
Fast-paced, relevant, and chilling, Dead of Night is a stunning thriller that exposes one of the most vicious conflicts on the African continent.
