Dying to Live

When the body of a Bushman is discovered near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the death is written off as an accident. But all is not as it seems. An autopsy reveals that, although he`s clearly very old, his internal organs are puzzlingly young. What`s more, an old bullet is lodged in one of his muscles …but where is the entry wound? When the body is stolen from the morgue and a local witch doctor is reported missing, Detective `Kubu` Bengu gets involved. But did the witch doctor take the body to use as part of a ritual? Or was it the American anthropologist who`d befriended the old Bushman?As Kubu and his brilliant young colleague, Detective Samantha Khama, follow the twisting trail through a confusion of rhino-horn smugglers, foreign gangsters and drugs manufacturers, the wider and more dangerous the case seems to grow. A fresh, new slice of `Sunshine Noir`, Dying to Live is a classic tale of greed, corruption and ruthless thuggery, set in one of the world`s most beautiful landscapes, and featuring one of crime fiction`s most endearing and humane heroes.For fans of Alexander McCall Smith, Deon Meyer, Peter James
