The World Cup brings an influx of soccer fans, team owners, sponsors, and world dignitaries to southern Africa, particularly Botswana-making the area ripe for intrigue and illicit activities. Orgonise Africa is an effort by fanatics, derived from Wilhelm Reich's popularization of orgone energy and transmogrified by bad science and wishful thinking. The idea is to seed Africa with orgone, which they believe will purify the continent, ridding it of drought, poverty, and HIV/AIDs. To the north, Patriarche, a silverback mountain gorilla, is forced to share his habitat with coltan miners led by General Le Grande, one of the Congo's many bloody war lords. Sanderson, Game Ranger in the Chobe National Park, finds a body. Tracking down the murderer leads her and Inspector Kgabo Modise to evidence of local bribery, then to smuggling, and finally to what could well provoke an international incident....

Review:

STARRED REVIEW

"A bit rougher-edged than Alexander McCall Smith's genteel "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, this mystery will still attract his fans and those who like Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu series (e.g., The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu )." -Library Journal of Predators

"Through parallel stories, Ramsay's clever stand-alone shows the ruthlessness of the business and the animal worlds without resorting to gimmickry. Ramsay (Impulse) matches keen characterizations with an obvious affection for Botswana, a complicated country that's more than Alexander McCall Smith's "quaint mysteries," as one character observes." -Publishers Weekly of Predators

STARRED REVIEW

"Featuring great characters, snippets of Southern culture and history, and snappy dialog, this is too good to miss." -Library Journal of Stranger Room
