Sibanda and the Rainbird
A mutilated body discovered in the bush launches Sibanda's most disturbing case yet. Armed with only two baffling clues—a knife inscribed with the letter 'B' and a fragment of metallic blue paint—Sibanda and Ncube plunge into a labyrinth of deception where danger lurks in both human and animal form. As they navigate treacherous political waters and untamed wilderness, the clock ticks for them to unravel a conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelons of power.
Sibanda & The Death's Head Moth
Two seemingly unrelated deaths—one struck by lightning, another claimed by a crocodile—spark Sibanda's suspicion when he detects an invisible thread connecting them. Racing against time and battling the harsh elements, Sibanda and Ncube venture into lawless territories ruled by ivory poachers armed with ancient weapons. As they unearth a sinister operation threatening both wildlife and human life, they must use all their bushcraft skills to survive this deadly game of cat and mouse.
Sibanda & The Black Sparrow Hawk
A skinned body beside railway tracks deep in the Matabele bush heralds the work of a methodical serial killer targeting vulnerable young women. As more remains surface along the tracks and girls continue to vanish, Sibanda devises a dangerous gambit to lure the predator into the open. With time running out and lives at stake, the safari detective must become the hunter rather than the hunted in a heart-stopping race where one misstep means death—and Miss Daisy's mechanical tantrums could prove as deadly as the killer's calculated traps.
