Trail of the Lost Jaguar 

Trail of the Lost Jaguar is about two young British men who are in search of their 'jaguar’ in the land of the jaguar, Guyana, South America, with no previous acquaintance with each other. While following their individual trails, they meet in Georgetown with explosive results. Guyana-born, Darren Young is returning to Guyana to pay tribute to and to bury his mum. Steve Everett, from County Durham, UK, is in Guyana for different purposes, including finding the 'biggest diamond’. Both are searching for a destination that is undefined but sincerely sought. In his quest to find the biggest diamond he meets Ian, Darren’s relation, a fellow explorer in the bush. Much of the narrative is generated in the mind of Darren, including the story of 'jaguar man’, a British man of Irish background who takes his 'jaguarness’ to another level.
