Review
''The pace is fast, the solution ingenious. Above all, however, is the author's extraordinary naturalistic style. He is that rarity -- a sensitive writer who can carry his point without forcing.'' --New York Times Book Review

Jacket illustration by Robert Goldstrom. keywords: Mystery South Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Someone out there is crazy. Crazy enough to kill a world-famous novelist and then strew her naked body with flowers and herbs. Or is there method in this madness? That's the question South African Police Lieutenant Tromp Kramer and his Zulu partner, Sergeant Mickey Zondi, must answer in James McClure's most gripping story yet. Naomi Stride was a wealthy woman, and her death has left several people richer-none more so than her twenty-six-year-old son Theo, with whom she had long had bitter 'differences over money: ' She was also a controversial woman, a writer whose novels had been banned in South Africa. But was it for money, politics, or some other, unknown reason that Naomi Stride was killed? That is what Kramer and Zondi must discover-a task that becomes much more difficult, perhaps impossible, when Kramer is unexpectedly taken off the case. Ordered by his superiors to discreetly 'wrap up' a fatal accident that has embarrassing implications for the South African police, he is plunged into a second investigation, and (fighting to keep it free of a political whitewash) he and Zondi find themselves moving inexorably toward a haunting and horrifying climax. inventory #23733 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front,Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket.
