The second in the internationally acclaimed detective series by Michael Stanley: 'a wonderful original voice - McCall Smith with a dark edge and even darker underbelly' Peter James
Set amid the beauty and darkness of modern Botswana, this is the second in the fantastic crime series featuring the opera-loving wine connoisseur Assistant Superintendant David 'Kubu' Bengu of the Botswana Police Force.
When a mutilated body is found at a tourist camp in northern Botswana, the corpse displays the classic signs of a revenge killing. But when fingerprints are analysed Detective 'Kubu' Bengu makes a shocking discovery: the victim is already dead. He was slain in the Rhodesian war thirty ago. Kubu soon realises that nothing at the camp is as it seems. And as the guests are picked off one by one, time is running out. With rumours of horrifying war crimes, the scent of a drug-smuggling trail and mounting pressure from his superiors to contend with, Kubu forgets there is one door left unguarded his own. And as he sets a trap to find a murderer, the hunters are closing in on him...Michael Stanley is the writing team of native Africans Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip.
