The Will of the Savannah

In 1920s Kenya, a winter safari meant for sunshine turns lethal when a “hunting accident” unfolds a little too perfectly, drawing the Belgian Detective and his loyal companion into a closed circle of brash wealth, hard-edged professionalism, wary partnership, and a fiancée whose charm conceals steel; with rifles, routes, and witness stories competing under the equatorial glare, Poirot must determine whether fate truly misfired—or whether murder was staged to look like mischance, with inheritance and power waiting quietly behind the tents; The Will of the Savannah is an original Golden Age–style mystery about entitlement, misdirection, and the dangerous belief that distance and wilderness erase accountability. FOR LISTENERS This is an original Golden Age–style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied. QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS When a death can be explained as “bad luck,” what should matter more: motive, opportunity, or the one detail that doesn’t fit the story?
