The Blood of an Englishman — James McClure

Gold Dagger Awardâ€"winning series: Two puzzling murders in apartheid-era South Africa may be linked -- and have roots in the Second World War . . .
 
For six days, Tromp Kramer of the Murder Squad and his Bantu assistant, Mickey Zondi, have been searching for the man who put a .32-caliber bullet into a South African antique dealer, and they still don't have a single lead. Then on the seventh day, Mrs. Digby-Smith opens the trunk of her car and discovers the hideous, tied-up corpse of her younger brother.
 
The two violent crimes are seemingly unconnected. But as Kramer and Zondi pursue their investigation, startling connections turn up in the sordid underworld of Terkkersburg -- and in the secret, unresolved enmities of World War II . . .
