Case note

Two murders occur in Gubu village within hours. Sibanda is pulled into blood diamonds and accused of the killings, forcing him into the wilderness with government agents close behind.

The case moves north to Victoria Falls, where suspects gather and Sibanda has to separate murder, diamonds, family pressure, and the machinery of official suspicion.

Where it fits in the Sibanda series

The fourth Sibanda novel turns the detective into the hunted man: accused, pursued, and forced north through bush country toward Victoria Falls.

Readers looking for Zimbabwe-set crime fiction, African detective stories, dry humour, bush detail, and investigations shaped by place can start with the Detective Sibanda guide or read the books in order.
