1899 South Africa Captain Ingo Finch of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) is on leave in Cape Town when his Commanding Officer is find dead and a RAMC signature is required to start a post mortem. Disturbed by the crime, and the quick result he decides to investigate.
But what are the connections with Mbutu, and the Suttons. And who is Moriarty?
I was pulled into this very enjoyable story, a well written tale, with some good rounded characters.

A well-written and frequently very funny account of England's failed attempt to hold on to the Jules Rimet Cup in Mexico in 1970. Kicking off with a brief history of the World Cup and an account of England's 1966 triumph in London, Dawson provides a virtual game-by-game account of the 1970 competition packed with goals, heat, sweat, a certain gold bracelet, Gordon Banks's miracle save and - finally - tears. A great read.
