Carrion Death (Detective Kubu Book 1)

''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

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...
