Deathwatch

What begins as a hunting trip into the desert becomes a man-hunt. Ben, the young guide, is forced to fight for his life by the ruthless businessman Madec who has shot an old prospector, probably in error, but now frames it to look like Ben's action and then forces him to strip and try to make his way out of the desert. An almost continuous tension right through to the twists of the ending. Until it becomes a film, copies in bookboxes and the library will keep pupils happy.
