Gold Dagger Award–winning series: Two puzzling murders in apartheid-era South Africa may be linked—and have roots in the Second World War . . .
 
For six days, Tromp Kramer of the Murder Squad and his Bantu assistant, Mickey Zondi, have been searching for the man who put a .32-caliber bullet into a South African antique dealer, and they still don’t have a single lead. Then on the seventh day, Mrs. Digby-Smith opens the trunk of her car and discovers the hideous, tied-up corpse of her younger brother.
 
The two violent crimes are seemingly unconnected. But as Kramer and Zondi pursue their investigation, startling connections turn up in the sordid underworld of Terkkersburg—and in the secret, unresolved enmities of World War II . . .
