Case note

One victim is found burning at the base of a lightning-struck tree. Another is killed on the banks of the Zambezi. The deaths appear to belong to different stories, which is exactly what makes Sibanda suspicious.

The trail runs through coded names, ivory smuggling, official obstruction, Miss Daisy's temperament, and the long distances that make every wrong turn expensive.

Plot and characterSibanda and the Death's Head Moth

Interesting characters, intricate plot and very well spun story.

The second book deepens the machinery: fragments of evidence, coded names, poaching pressure, Ncube's anxieties, and Sibanda's impatience all pull against one another.
