Parts of a body and the stench of death are discovered by two game rangers in the desert of Botswana and create a mysteries for Botswaa CID Det. David "Kubu" Bengu. But all his means of gathering evidence and clues fail to resolve who is the man, why did he die and how did he get to where he was found.

But Kubu â which means hippo in the Setswana language â keeps picking at the case and comes across more mysteries happenings involving an oil company that is being inherited by a friend of his. Soon there are more bodies and details that just don't add up.

I enjoyed the story and thought the author did a masterful job of reflecting the setting, its people, culture and challenges. But there seemed to be far too many things going on that weren't part of the mystery making it a bit of an overly long.
