Dalla quarta di copertina:

Normally a peaceful wilderness retreat, the Jackalberry bush camp has suddenly become a ghastly crime scene&;and 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 must rely on his own instincts. But a startling piece of forensic evidence from Goodluck Tinubu's murder adds a complicated twist to the investigation, and Kubu has to work fast to solve a seemingly impossible riddle before more Jackalberry guests meet their deaths.
