Detective Mwenda Pole is not the fastest solver of crime- by some accounts. But he gets them… he gets the bad guys pinned down to their crimes. After a tenacious but fruitless search, the only person who can lead him to the body is the on-the-run suspect. Would the tracks that bring him face to face with the shifta bandits in the Northern Frontier Province (NFD) and the lions in the plains below Mt Kenya lead him to the killer and the remnants of his victim? Or would the unsuspecting, wildlife exporting settler farmer spirit the suspect away to the USA as he poses as a game keeper and expert? Above all, can he survive the vengeful wrath of the man he has to befriend in order to expose? Join Detective Mwenda Polê in the painful and yet thrilling pursuit of a ruthless killer across the scenic Kenyan countryside.
