Two vicious murders, only hours apart
Normally a peaceful wilderness retreat, the Jackalberry bush
camp has suddenly become a ghastly crime scene--and the details are
still emerging when Detective David "Kubu" Bengu is assigned to the
case. Zimbabwean teacher Goodluck Tinubu and another tourist have
been found bludgeoned to death, while another guest at the
camp--rumored to be a dissident wanted in Zimbabwe--has disappeared
without a trace.
With the local police unable--or unwilling--to provide much
assistance, Detective Kubu relies on his own instincts to track
down those responsible for the crimes. But a startling piece of
forensic evidence from Goodluck Tinubu's murder adds a complicated
twist to the investigation, and Kubu must work fast to solve a
seemingly impossible riddle before any more Jackalberry guests meet
their death. Suspecting that everyone at the camp has something to
hide, the wily detective from Gaborone sets a clever trap to find
the truth.
The memorable Kubu of "A Carrion Death" returns in this
gripping story of murder, greed, and hidden motives. Set in
northern Botswana, amid lush vegetation and teeming wildlife, "The
Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu" captures the intense loyalties and
struggles taking place at the country's borders--and the shattered
dreams of those living just outside this modern democracy.
