Rich with atmosphere, mystery, and conservation themes, THE LAST LEOPARD is the thrilling third instalment in Lauren St John’s much-loved White Giraffe series, continuing Martine’s unforgettable African adventures.
After a terrifying incident nearly ends their African road trip, Martine and her best friend Ben are desperate to put the past behind them. But danger has a way of finding them.
In Zimbabwe’s rugged and ancient Matobo Hills, a sinister blackmail plot sets off a chain of events far more serious than either of them could have imagined. Clues begin to surface - all pointing towards Khan, the world’s rarest leopard. But how could such a magnificent creature be involved? And what connection does a long-lost king’s treasure have to the mystery?
As myth and truth blur, Martine and Ben become wildlife detectives once more, racing against time to uncover the truth. With poachers closing in and secrets buried deep in the landscape, they must find the courage to protect the leopard - and survive themselves.
Blending fast-paced adventure with deep respect for wildlife and African landscapes, The Last Leopard explores themes of bravery, responsibility, and standing up for the voiceless. Lauren St John’s vivid storytelling brings both danger and wonder to life, while gently reinforcing the importance of conservation.
Perfect for readers who love animal adventures with real stakes, this gripping story will appeal to fans of nature-based fiction, mystery, and heroic friendships.
