Description

When the body of a Bushman is discovered 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's 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.But did the witch doctor take the body to use as part of a ritual? Or was it the American anthropologist who'd befriended theold Bushman?As Kubu and his brilliant young colleague, Detective Samantha Khama, follow the twisting trail through a confusion ofrhino-horn smugglers, foreign gangsters and drugs manufacturers, the wider and more dangerous the case seems to grow.A fresh, new slice of 'Sunshine Noir', Dying to Live is a classic tale of greed, corruption and ruthless thuggery, set in one ofthe world's most beautiful landscapes, and featuring one of crime fiction's most endearing and humane heroes.

Author Biography:

Michael Stanley is the writing team of Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip. Both were born in South Africa and have worked in academia and business. Stanley was an educational psychologist, specialising in the application of computers and is a pilot. Michael specialises in image processing and remote sensing and teaches at the University of the Witwatersrand. On a flying trip to Botswana, they watched a pack of hyenas hunt, kill and devour a wildebeest, eating both flesh and bones. That gave them the premise for their first mystery, A Carrion Death, which introduced Detective 'Kubu' Bengu of the Botswana Criminal Investigation Department. It was a finalist for five awards, including the CWA Debut Dagger. The series has been critically acclaimed, and their third book, Death of the Mantis, won the Barry Award and was a finalist for an Edgar award. Deadly Harvest was a finalist for an International Thriller Writers' award.
