Satisfaction Guaranteed. The third exploit of the avenging trio (who fist appeared in The Man with the Tiny Head) proves even more hazardous and flamboyant than its predecessors: Sandro, the Italian millionaire, Colly the lazy American, and Lady Jennifer Norrington tangle with a group of ferocious and fanatical killers. That murderers of exceptional ruthlessness are at work emerges sensationally from the first blood-stained incidents: the 'guns' at a great English pheasant shoot are themselves machine-gunned; an appalling and hideously cruel catastrophe overtakes a famous hunt, its hounds, horses and riders in full cry; and more savagery strikes a party of young beaglers. Each act of butchery bears the signature 'ALA' but every other clue has vanished. In Geneva an organization called SIPHEN carries out world-wide propaganda against the killing of animals: it seeks the protection and preservation of every species. Sandro has an aunt who is deeply interested in SIPHEN and helps it with work and money. It is to SIPHEN that Sandro's interest turns. But it is on safari in East Africa that this story of multiple murder and the counter-attacks by Sandro, Colly and Jenny comes to its inventive, monstrous and final climax. The subject of animal conservation is a topical one, and the question of whether the genuine sportsman is the best conservationist has been widely discussed. This book portrays people, animals, and the brilliant setting of East Africa with affection and sharp observation, while providing a super-story of formidable speed and power.
