A string of clues suggests that the victim was murdered and his identity hidden. For Assistant Superintendent David 'Kubu' Bengu, it's obvious from the start that sinister forces are at work. On the surface a convivial figure with a passion for his wife, his wine and his music, Kubu is a clever and resourceful lawman, well versed in Botswana's deadliest secrets. As Kubu follows a blood-soaked trail, marked by lies and superstition, he uncovers a chain of crimes linked to the most powerful figures in the country -- influential enemies who will stop at nothing to remove those who stand in their way. In this mesmerising crime debut, Michael Stanley reveals the real Botswana: a modern land caught between traditional culture and globalism, colonial paternalism and independenceÂ".
