STARRED REVIEW "A bit rougher-edged than Alexander McCall Smith's genteel "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, this mystery will still attract his fans and those who like Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu series (e.g., The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu )." -Library Journal of Predators "Through parallel stories, Ramsay's clever stand-alone shows the ruthlessness of the business and the animal worlds without resorting to gimmickry. Ramsay (Impulse) matches keen characterizations with an obvious affection for Botswana, a complicated country that's more than Alexander McCall Smith's "quaint mysteries," as one character observes." -Publishers Weekly of Predators STARRED REVIEW "Featuring great characters, snippets of Southern culture and history, and snappy dialog, this is too good to miss." -Library Journal of Stranger Room STARRED REVIEW A bit rougher-edged than Alexander McCall Smith's genteel "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, this mystery will still attract his fans and those who like Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu series (e.g., The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu ).

Reseña del editor:

Every June, the World Cup brings soccer fans, team owners, sponsors, and world dignitaries to southern Africa, particularly Botswana. Americans, North Koreans, the Okavango, Arabs, French, Chinese, and Russians are scattered among various lodges and hotels in the country, all watching the games...and each other. To the north, Patriarche, a silverback mountain gorilla, is forced to share his habitat with coltan miners led by General Le Grande, one of the Congo's many bloody war lords. After Game Ranger Sanderson finds a body in the Chobe National Park, tracking the murderer leads her and Inspector Kgabo Modise to evidence of local bribery, then to smuggling, and finally to what could well provoke an international incident.... Frederick Ramsay was a member of the faculty of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In 1971, he was ordained an Episcopal priest. Now retired from full-time ministry, he lives in Arizona with his wife and partner, Susan. www.frederickramsay.com
