Hook line: A rough-edged frontier memoir follows a lion hunter and his companions through tense raids, daring hunts, and tense loyalties along the Tunisian border.

It blends danger, honor, and humor as soldiers, tribes, and kings of the wild collide in a landscape of oases, fortresses, and desert plains. The narrative centers on bold acts, personal codes, and moments of quiet reflection amid bustling camps and tense negotiations.
