The second book in the Inspector Kubu series&;penned by a pair of Crime Writers&; Association Award-winning South African authors writing under the name Michael Stanley&;The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu treats readers to a gripping and atmospheric  story of money, murder, and hidden motives at a remote bush camp in northern Botswana. Set in a country immortalized by Alexander McCall Smith in his The #1 Ladies&; Detective Agency novels, The Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu again features an unforgettable lead character the New York Times Book Review calls, &;Hugely appealing&;big and solid and smart enough to grasp all angles of [a] mystery.&;

Normally a peaceful wilderness retreat, the Jackalberry bush camp has suddenly become a ghastly crime scene&;and Detective David "Kubu" Bengu is assigned to the case. Zimbabwean teacher Goodluck Tinubu and another tourist have been found bludgeoned to death, while another guest at the camp&;rumored to be a dissident wanted in Zimbabwe&;has disappeared without a trace.

With the local police unable&;or unwilling&;to provide much assistance, Detective Kubu must rely on his own instincts. But a startling piece of forensic evidence from Goodluck Tinubu's murder adds a complicated twist to the investigation, and Kubu has to work fast to solve a seemingly impossible riddle before more Jackalberry guests meet their deaths.
