Samantha Henderson
Excerpt
It took them three weeks to trap it, setting wire snares in the low foliage that rimmed the Northwest cliffs, towards Boulonge-sur-Mer. One morning, with the low clouds beating a constant, needle-spray mist against the tents and cottage of the camp, they spotted something thrashing in the distance and Claire ran across the hillocks to it, hair unbound across her shoulders and sodden in the drizzle. Ian followed after and heard her laugh before he saw they’d caught a young avion, half adult size, its twin propellers buzzing indignantly as it jerked against the wire, bouncing up and down in the grey bushes.
