When the body of a Bushman is found near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the death is written off as an accident. But all is not as it seems. An autopsy reveals that although he is clearly very old, his internal organs are puzzlingly young. What's more, an old bullet is lodged in one of his muscles ... but where is the entry wound?
When the body is stolen from the morgue and a local witch doctor is reported missing, Detective 'Kubu' Bengu gets involved. Kubu and his brilliant young colleague, Detective Samantha Khama, follow the twisting trail through a confusion of rhino-horn smugglers, foreign gangsters, and drug manufacturers. And the deeper they dig, the wider and more dangerous the case becomes.
A fresh new slice of Sunshine Noir, Dying to Live is a classic tale of greed, corruption, and ruthless thuggery, set in one of the world's most beautiful landscapes, and featuring one of crime fiction's most endearing and humane detectives.
