Smashed skull, snapped ribs, and a cloying smell of carrion.
Leave the body for the hyenas to devour--no body, no case.
But Kalahari game rangers stumble on the human corpse mid-meal.
The murder wasn't perfect after all. Enter Detective David "Kubu"
Bengu of the Botswana Criminal Investigation Department, an
investigator whose personality and physique match his moniker, the
Setswana word for hippopotamus--which is a seemingly docile beast,
but one of the deadliest, and most persistent, on the
continent.
Beneath a mountain of lies and superstitions, Kubu uncovers a
chain of crimes leading to the most powerful figures in the
country--cold-bloodedly efficient and frighteningly influential
enemies who can make anyone who gets in their way disappear.
