Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735950211)

Winner of Multiple Awards in Literary Fiction. Included in the Prize-Winning Literary Fiction Series from LaPuerta Books and Media

Intrigue on the white sands of the Indian Ocean. A lonely widower seeks escape in Kenya - what he finds is temptation, truth, and a second chance at life.

Harry Gardner thinks he's just buying a luxury safari vacation. Instead, he steps into a world of shifting loyalties, whispered deals, and romantic entanglements that challenge everything he believed about love, morality, and himself.

Drawn to the sunlit coast of Kenya, Harry hopes for distraction and maybe a little reinvention. Then he meets Esther - a beautiful, beguiling widow with secrets of her own - and frets about Aldo, a silver-tongued travel arranger who knows more than he says. As Harry settles into his new surroundings, he finds himself navigating cultural misunderstandings, emotional manipulations, and a creeping suspicion that paradise might have its own predators.​​​​​

Torn between the comforts of his old life and the lures of an unfamiliar future, Harry must decide if this journey is a grand escape or a slow seduction. With a backdrop of striking African landscapes and razor-sharp insight into human motives, Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner is a late-in-life odyssey of love, vulnerability, and the thrill - and risk - of starting over.

Harry must come to terms with questions at the heart of his character: Is corruption a fact of life everywhere? Is all love transactional? Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner is an emotional story of expat intrigue in Africa, reminiscent of The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene and The Constant Gardener by John le Carré.

"Jones writes with clarity and precision, offering a convincing study of a man taking risks and exploring new relationships with an almost childlike view on the world he's thrown into. Readers looking for engaging contemporary fiction with an emotionally available adult male lead will quickly be pulled into Harry's fast-paced adventure, a memorable (literal) vacation read." - BookLife Reviews
