'I'm fascinated by Africa and now I really want to visit Botswana. Through this book, I've come to love the people there, and fall totally for the main character' Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache novels

A stunning crime novel set against a backdrop of poachers, witch doctors, diamond smugglers and corruption.

They find the first body near a waterhole considered magical by the local bush people. A string of clues suggests that the victim was murdered and his identity hidden.

For Assistant Superintendent David Kubu Bengu, it's obvious from the start that sinister forces are at work. A convivial figure on the surface, Kubu is a clever and resourceful lawman, well-versed in Botswana's deadliest secrets.

As he follows a blood-soaked trail he uncovers a chain of crimes linked to the most powerful figures in the country -influential enemies who will stop at nothing to remove those who stand in their way...

'A Carrion Death is that perfect combination of "I don't want it to end" and "I can't put it down". Great African crime fiction' Deon Meyer
