AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the heart of a Kenyan game park, a retired policeman’s death shatters the tranquil landscape. Officially marked as the work of Masai tribesmen, doubts linger for two young biologists, Marion and Nicholas, who knew the victim well. Determined to uncover the truth, they plunge into a treacherous investigation, only to find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and danger.

'The deceased, an esteemed police inspector, was on the trail of ivory poachers before his demise. With a chief suspect seemingly protected by an airtight alibi—a renowned ornithologist on a distant safari—their quest for justice becomes a perilous game. Yet, as Marion and Nicholas unearth clues, they unwittingly become targets themselves, locked in a deadly dance of pursuit and evasion.

'As evidence mounts against the suspect, the elusive truth remains just out of reach. Until an unexpected ally emerges: the Red Bishop, a tiny avian marvel with a secret of its own. The puzzle unravels, exposing the tangled threads of corruption and betrayal lurking beneath the surface of the savannah.' (Publication summary)
