He is about to hand in his resignation, but before doing so he is sent into the heart of an ancient San community: an elder has died after being released from police custody and the San blame the police. The small town of Witdraai borders on the world-famous Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where the last of the Kalahari Sani eke out a living. A violent attack on a German tourist has unsettled the whole town - a case that is rubbing up Beeslaar's new colleague, Colonel Koekoes Mentoor, the wrong way. She wants to turn her back on Witdraai and the bad memories the place holds for her. As the heat rises, all hell breaks loose: a policeman is murdered; deepseated corruption is threatening a major land restitution plan for the San; and a mysterious killer is prowling the red dunes. Amid all the controversy, Kytie Rooi, a cleaner at a luxury guesthouse in Upington and self-appointed protector of a strange street child, is fleeing into the deadly heat of the desert with her charge. In this world, places of safety are dangerously elusive."--Back cover. 530 $a Also issued in electronic format. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a San (African people) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Gemsbok National Park (Botswana) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a English fiction. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891461 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029788 650 7 $a San (African people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01104725 651 7 $a Botswana $z Gemsbok National Park. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01280251 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Dietrich, Linde, $e translator. 765 0 $t Tuisland 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120034501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=285CB07C2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
