When a Kenyan wheat cooperative refuses to sign onto a glossy new "climate-smart corridor", agronomist-turned-consultant Paul Smart is sent to find out why the numbers don’t add up.
What he uncovers isn’t bad bookkeeping. It’s a hidden supply chain. Under the cover of donor-funded grain and cut flowers, ore from abandoned Rift Valley mines and "tactical enforcement assets" are moving through cold rooms, tunnels, and quiet logistics hubs, all laundered through farmers’ debts and corridor fees. From Nairobi glass towers to Rift back-roads, Wheatfall drags the Borderlands series deep into Kenya’s maize and wheat belt-a world where development money, organised crime, and political power share the same trucks, and the harvest can be grain, guns... or lives. If you love Deon Meyer or Tony Spark, Stephen Castle is your next addiction.Perfect for readers of agricultural noir, corporate thrillers, and international crime fiction who like their conspiracies grounded in soil, spreadsheets, and real-world corruption.
