Detective Kubu faces his most disturbing investigation yet when he finds himself caught up in a case of betrayal and mistaken identity on the outskirts of northern Botswana. Goodluck Tinubu, an ex-Zimbabwean, is viciously murdered at the Jackalberry bush camp, situated on an isolated peninsula in northern Botswana. Peter Sithole, a guest at the camp, is found bludgeoned to death a few hours later. Meanwhile, another guest at the camp, Ishmael Zondo, leaves the camp suddenly the next morning and disappears without a trace. But what really turns the case on its head is when fingerprint results get back from the lab and records reveal that Tinubu was killed in the Rhodesian civil war thirty years earlier...
