When Miss Hazelstone of Jacaranda Park kills her Zulu cook in a sensational crime of passion, the gallant members of the South African police force are soon upon the scene: Kommandant van Heerden, whose secret longing for the heart of an English gentleman leads to the most memorable transplant operation yet recorded: Luitenant Verkramp of the Security Branch, ever active in the pursuit of Communist cells; Konstabel Els, with his propensity for shooting first and not thinking later - and also for forcing himself upon African women in a manner legally reserved for male members of their own race. In the course of the strange events which follow, we encounter some very esoteric perversions and some even more amazing perversions of justice when Miss Hazelstone's brother, the Bishop of Barotseland, is sentenced to be hanged on the ancient gallows in the local prison.
Piemburg Séria
Táto séria humorným a satirickým pohľadom skúma koloniálnu Južnú Afriku, kde sa miešajú absurdity policajnej práce s excentrickými postavami a spoločenskými konvenciami. Sledujte zmes bizarných zločinov, neobvyklých vyšetrovaní a ostrou kritiku dobových predsudkov a nespravodlivosti. Každý príbeh odhaľuje temnejšiu stránku idylického života a ponúka jedinečný pohľad na vtedajšiu spoločnosť.

Sharpe’s second South African novel is a riot of hilarity when the local constabulary sets out to terrorize true Englishmen and even truer Zulus, in its relentless search for a perfect South Africa.
