Sibanda and the Death Head Moth
R280.00
Detective inspector Jabulani Sibanda, Sergeant Ncube and Miss Daisy, the Land Rover, are once again on the tracks of a murderer. Two bodies have been discovered near Gubu, one burning at the base of a tree struck by lightning and, on the banks of the Zambezi, a second killing which threatens to tear Sibanda’s life apart. The victims are disconnected, one a foreign wildlife researcher, the other a local kombi driver, but Sibanda’s uncanny intuition tells him the murders are linked. The only clues are a fragment of material found in the brain of one victim, a puncture wound in the thigh of the other and a diary full of coded names. Sibanda is still haunted by Berry, the unattainable love of his life. She is missing under mysterious circumstances. Ncube is still haunted by myths, folklore, frightening figments and a stomach that requires constant attention. As the plot unravels there are links to illegally brewed alcohol and an ivory smuggling gang. In their pursuit of the killer, Detective inspector Sibanda and Sergeant Ncube not only have to cope with Miss Daisy’s legendary unreliability and Chief inspector Stalin Mfumu’s lack of cooperation, but also a rough and remote terrain full of wild and sometimes dangerous adventure.
