Ren arrived at Kerestal Wildlife Reserve at noon on Wednesday. The scene was depressingly familiar. There were two dead cubs this time, and again their scans showed atrophied thymus glands.
Now there was no doubt someone was systematically targeting kingcat cubs. The questions were who? And why?
Kerestal's data gave her no more clues and she left the Reserve at nine that night, feeling thoroughly depressed. She was no nearer to finding out what was going on and she was scared about these attacks. There were few kingcats left in the true wild. Most of them were in wildlife reserves. If she couldn't stop them being picked off, soon there was a real possibility the species would go extinct.
Panthera : Death Spiral is available as an ebook and paperback from Amazon
