It’s a decade since his debut, The Whisperer, which terrified readers across the continent. The problem is multi-faceted, but Kevin’s amazing work of educating, increasing awareness, and raising money is a crucial part of the solution.Translated by Katherine Gregor - Hot on the heels of The Mirror Man by Lars Kepler comes a very different but equally chilling serial killer thriller from Italian maestro Donato Carrisi. Without intervention, lions might not exist in the wild within 20 years. Recent population estimates put the total number of lions at 20,000. The outlook is concerning: The lion population occupies less than 20% of its former range in Africa. The parts are said to have “miraculous” effects. Lion poaching has become an ever-increasing problem in recent years traditional Chinese medicine imbues lion bones with healing powers, and, horrifyingly, lions are also poached for their noses and paws in the tradition of gathering “muti” (traditional South African medicine). Kevin not only gives lions a second chance, but he also highlights the plight of lions in the wild as they face myriad threats, from habitat loss to revenge killings to the illegal trade. The sanctuary provides animals the care they need as well as the space and natural environment they need to thrive. ![]()
