When famous wildlife professor Drew Robbins is found dead on his desk with a Maasai spear lodged in his back. the list of possible murderers reaches every corner of the university. Was it his long-time research associate, jealous about the fame he hasn''t shared? The television producer he had fired from his upcoming nature show? HIs secret lover from the budget office, the horticulture student who tends his garden, or his fiancee? The origins of the tale go back decades to the wilds of Tanzania where an old man drinks himself slowly to death in The Hyena Bar. Professor Elena Bertoni is tasked with taking over the dead man''s duties, only to discover that all is not right. Teamed up with university police chief Desdemona White, the two dig deep to find out the truth. A truth that only murder could reveal.
