Bookroo's summary

Jack receives a cryptic message from his missing brother, Max, but is soon swept into the heat of Kenya's savannah. There, a Masai chief reveals a grim truth: elephants are being slaughtered for their tusks. Jack must unravel the mystery of the poachers before more majestic creatures fall. Can he balance the search for his brother with the urgent mission to save the elephants, or will he be too late on both fronts?

From the publisher

Jack finally receives a coded message from his brother Max, possibly detailing his whereabouts. But duty calls, and Jack is whisked away to the sweltering savannah of Kenya before he can decipher it. Once there, a wise and kind Masai chief alerts Jack to a series of elephant killings where the corpses have been robbed of their tusks. Jack must find the malevolent ring of poachers responsible before more of these endangered species are destroyed.
