` We could always go overland now that we have wheels, ` Ross had suggested out of the blue. I`d pulled out an atlas & we`d traced a route down through Africa via countries still marked with their colonial names. Only two strips of water interrupted the flow of land between Edinburgh & Chingola; the English Channel & the Straits of Gibraltar. Fourteen months had passed since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon so Africa couldn`t be that difficult, could it? A month later we boarded the ferry for Calais... In 1970 newly-weds Ross & Sara set off, with extraordinary naivety & a lack of proper preparation, to drive from Edinburgh to Zambia in a standard saloon car. Appointment in Zambia is the story of their epic car journey. Sara was 21 (and could not drive) & Ross was 23 when they & their brand new Hillman Hunter (in ` Golden Sand`, a colour chosen before they`d opted to drive through the Sahara...) started out. For eight weeks, in a trip of over 20 000 kms, they slept in the car, coped with illness & looked up the barrel of rifles from the wrong end. Apart from the car their only technology was a compass. Their journey encompassed the Sahara, where they had to dig themselves out of trouble with Tupperware containers. They also braved war-torn Biafra, navigated storm-wrecked roads through equatorial forests & traversed the main tributary of the Congo River (on a raft cobbled together with dug-out canoes by locals). They met lepers, pygmies, drunken officials, prostitutes & missionaries while their journey took them across 13 countries with widely different frontiers, customs, currencies & language before they reached Chingola
- just in time for Ross to start his new job. Appointment in Zambia is a unique take on an epic journey
- a young couple & their basic car travel acrosss Africa, not because they want to challenge themselves & prove something, but because they decide it`s the best way to get to a new job in Zambia.

A repugnant Amercian widow is killed during a trip to Petra... Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sat the corpse of Mrs Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist was the only sign of the fatal injection that had killed her. With only 24 hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he`d overheard back in Jerusalem: ` You see, don`t you, that she`s got to be killed?` Mrs Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he`d ever met... ...
