An extraordinary historical crime thriller, perfect for listeners of Philip Kerr, M.J. Carter and Abir Mukherjee.

1899, South Africa: As the Boer War rages, Captain Ingo Finch of the Royal Army Medical Corps pieces together casualties at the front. Later, recovering in Cape Town, he is woken by local police. A British officer has been murdered, and an RAMC signature is required for the post-mortem. Shocked by the identity of the victim, the bizarre nature of the crime and what appears a too-convenient resolution, Finch turns detective. He is soon thrust into a perilous maze of espionage and murder.

'Dawson has produced a strong thriller with something to say… An intriguing mix of John Buchan style adventuring and well researched period detail, full of superstition, mistrust and political intrigue… A very strong debut.' Sarah Ward, author of the Richard Prince thrillers. Crime Fiction Historical International Mystery & Crime Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Africa

An intriguing story, made all the better by the narration. A mystery that will have you guessing until the end.

Great story, wonderful narration

The South Africa of the Boer War is a pretty underused setting in historical novels and so it’s great to see something a bit different. The plot is a veritable trawler of red herrings but the characters are well written. Not so much read as performed with both boots on by Jonathan Keeble; definitely earning his fee here.

Nice to see a different arena

The Boer war is an unfamiliar context for me and that, plus the three main characters, made for an interesting listen. Narration superb, but the plot itself was tricky to follow early on and then became increasingly far fetched in terms of final resolutions. But as a freebie, very good VFM!

Brilliant narration

A gripping read set in a terrible and historic time frame. Interesting characters and very well narrated. Looking forward to book 2.
