A DEATH IN KENYA. The Murder of Julie Ward

Paperback. In 1988, Julie Ward, a young English photographer, set off for a 6mth tour of Kenya. But Julie's dream of Kenya became a dark, deadly nightmare. Just a few days before she was scheduled to return to England, Julie entered the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve for one last photo expedition. She was never seen again. This book is the shocking, dramatic story of Julie Ward and the relentless search for the truth of what happened to her in those final days in the wild. The Kenyan government insisted that it was an accident: that Julie was killed by wild animals. But John Ward, Julie's father, was convinced that there was a cover-up. This a heart-wrenching, compelling story of the dark secrets hiding under Kenya's haunting beauty, and at the same time a fascinating forensic detective story. It is an expose: but in the end it is a tale of the love, determination and devotion of a father who battled a government to find the truth about what happened to his daughter.
