Stanley Hastings on safari? He didn't think so, until Alice's small inheritance -- plus scrimping on luxuries like food -- paid for a trip to Zambi. But the safari leader is a reckless, gung-ho, great white hunter, and a series of bizarre accidents dwindles the group's numbers. But were they really accidents? A stabbing tips the scale. It's murder, and the only policeman in a hundred miles is a park ranger. It's up to Stanley to crack the case....

Poor Stanley Hastings. After getting hired by a hitman and nearly getting shot, the put-upon PI needed some fun, so when a gorgeous damsel in distress walked through his office door she seemed just what the doctor ordered. Wrong again. The fair maiden turned out to be a married mom who wanted Stanley to find out why her teenage daughter was skipping school. Playing truant officer wasn't much fun, but at least it should be easy. Fat chance.

While staking out a New Jersey hotel to catch a cheating husband, private eye Stanley Hastings instead finds the man murdered and becomes the prime suspect.
