Adams is a seasoned detective, but this case is unlike anything he has ever encountered before. The victim, a beautiful young woman named Sarah Wilson, was found naked and alone in the bush, her body bearing the marks of a violent struggle. The only clue Adams has to go on is a single, cryptic message scrawled on Sarah's body: "The leopard is loose."

As Adams investigates, he discovers that Sarah was not who she seemed. She was a member of a secret organization that was involved in illegal activities in the bush. Adams soon realizes that Sarah's murder was not a random act of violence, but a carefully planned assassination. The killer is someone who knows the bush intimately, and who is willing to do whatever it takes to silence Sarah and her organization.

Adams' investigation leads him to a remote village deep in the bush. There, he meets a group of people who are hiding a dark secret. Adams soon realizes that the villagers are not who they seem, and that they are all involved in the conspiracy to silence Sarah. Adams must race against time to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. But the killer is always one step ahead, and Adams soon finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

The Leopard Is Loose is a gripping novel of suspense and adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. David Adams is a complex and compelling character, and his investigation into Sarah's murder is both thrilling and terrifying. The novel is set against the backdrop of the African bush, and the descriptions of the landscape are both beautiful and haunting. The Leopard Is Loose is a must-read for fans of suspense and adventure.
