Al Kapona Playbook 1 — The Boy From Kitwe A Playbook Series Adaptation Verification date: 2026 · Adapted by Kateule Sydney · E-cyclopedia Resources Hub Summary In the copper dust of colonial Kitwe, a miner's son named Al Kapona learns that the only law worth obeying is the one you write yourself. This first Playbook follows his birth in 1899, his first theft at fifteen, the death of his father in a mine that owed him nothing, and the arrival of Prohibition — the law that turned a hungry boy into a legend. But before the empire, there is a betrayal. And before the legend, there is a scar.

POIROT INVESTIGATES: Playbook 1 · The Adventure of "The Western Star" & The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor
Poirot Investigates Playbook 1 — The Western Star and the Marsdon Manor Tragedy A Playbook Series Adaptation Last Verified: 2026-09-16 | Adapted by: Kateule Sydney | Published by: E-cyclopedia Resources Hub Summary: Two cases, one principle. In the first, a film star's diamond vanishes and a country-house robbery turns out to be something far stranger. In the second, a sudden death at an Essex manor is put down to internal haemorrhage — until Poirot notices that the local doctor's account of the dead man's temperament does not quite fit the widow's. Both cases turn on the same insight: the simplest explanation is rarely the obvious one. And in both, Hastings mistakes a surface reading for detection.
