There has been an anonymous phone tip claiming that "something bad" has happened on Little Flint Farm. Emmanuel knows that his boss would not send two city detectives into isolated farm country without good cause. Something has to be up. Cooper and Shabalala head into the Midlands where horse stables and cultivated fields dot the wide valleys. The Station Sergeant's books are clean, except for a minor matter: the disappearance of an adolescent Zulu girl from her family kraal in the wild foothills of the Drakensberg. Who is this she, this fifteen-year-old named "Amahle," the beautiful one? Where has she gone and why is the local Sergeant so reluctant to search for her? Fuelled by the instinctive knowledge that something "bad" really has happened out on Little Flint Farm, Cooper and Shabalala plunge into the class driven world of transplanted English aristocrats and the tradition bound world of the old Zulu chiefs. Together, Cooper and Shabalala must break the silence of the opposing communities and dig through buried secrets until they find out what happened to the girl, and why... no matter the cost"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Police $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Zulu (African people) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a KwaZulu-Natal Midlands (South Africa) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a South Africa $x History $y 1909-1961 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 650 7 $a FICTION / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/1247/927/9781451616927/image/lgcover.9781451616927.jpg 941 $a 12 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626014618.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20200804014816.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204045202.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110031323.0 952 $l JDPC145 $d 20190424011956.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107031920.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006063958.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907031010.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170927012653.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418093533.0 952 $l AGPE046 $d 20150221022450.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20120810010340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CF7C458B5E611E19C4C10D36AFF544E 994 $a 92 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
