Michael Stanley
â€œThe best book yet in one of the best series going: a serious novel with a mystery at its core that takes us places weâ€™ve never been.â€,â€”Timothy Hallinan, author of ,The Queen of Patpong ,Mystery readers who have not yet made the acquaintance of larger than life African investigator Detective David â€œKubuâ€ Bengu are doing themselves a great disservice. ,Death of the Mantis, is the third Kubu novel from author Michael Stanleyâ€”following the critically acclaimed ,A Carrion Death ,and, The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu,â€”and it plunges the robust manhunter into the chaotic center of a murder case involving nomadic Bushmen that is stoking the fires of prejudice and tribal hatred. Set in Botswanaâ€”the fascinating equatorial country also explored by Alexander McCall Smith in his #1 Ladiesâ€™ Detective Agency novelsâ€”,Death of the Mantis, is a book alive with the sights and sounds of an exotic and breathtaking land. The exploits of Stanleyâ€™s singularly captivating policeman protagonist will delight you and keep you guessing.
