Synopsis

Six days into their search for a man who put a .32-caliber bullet into a South African antique dealer, neither Kramer of the Murder Squad nor his Bantu assistant, Zondi, has a single lead in the case. On the seventh day, Mrs. Digby-Smith opens the trunk of her car and discovers the hideous, tied-up corpse of her younger brother. Two violent crimes—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.

I liked this book set in South Africa during apartheid. My favorite part was the dry humor, sometimes quite subtle, other times I could see it coming from a mile away, but it still made me smile. I also especially enjoyed the relationship between Kramer and Zondi - their friendship and the respect t......more

Goodreads review by Peter on January 15, 2021

The plot in this Kramer and Zondi lacks substance and, at the end, there is too much telling to explain the convoluted nature of a murder by the guilty party but the novel is carried by the characters and the setting.
