Poaching, politics, and killer motives....
A routine patrol leads to the discovery of an orphaned elephant and her butchered family on the border with Tanzania. An international poaching racket is responsible, and David makes it his mission to bring the perpetrators to justice. Kenya is in political and economic turmoil, with widespread violence and acts of atrocity being committed by the government against the Kikuyu.
Who is Commander Peter Abasi, aka Maliki, and what does he want with Professor Mutungi and the Committee of Human Rights? And where do freelance reporter Aaron Bernstein and Seymour Dewitt of the American Embassy fit in?
Amidst the turmoil, David meets Caitlyn, the new vet at the elephant orphanage. As the heat intensifies, will he be able to protect her?
