Amazon.com description: Product Description: The British don't belong in Africa. Their skinsare too pale, their clothing too heavy and elaborate, their morality all wrong.And yet here they are in 1912 in the British Protectorate of East Africa,tangled in an uneasy peace with the Sultan of Zanzibar.
Much of the tangle in this new mystery in Alfieri's East Africa series concernsthe slave trade. The British have outlawed it, but, well, it's all a matter ofwho you know and who you owe, isn't it? That slippery morality infuriates VeraTolliver, a Scottish missionary's daughter and the bride of a English policeofficer, whose job it is to enforce the law... after he figures out what it is.The murder of a runaway slave only increases the complications, especiallybecause a longtime friend of Vera's family is the likeliest suspect. Meanwhileboth the British government and the Sultanate sail above it all, as though theyhad nothing to do with the problem. But both Vera and Tolliver could tell youthat official fingers are knotted into the tangle's every strand.
