Description - A Beautiful Place to Die by Malla Nunn

In the tiny South African town of Jacob's Rest, detective Emmanuel Cooper is sent to investigate the murder of an Afrikaner police officer, Captain Willem Pretorius. Cooper, an 'English' South African, is viewed with suspicion by both the Boer Afrikaners and the dead man's prominent family. But as Cooper pursues his own inquiry, he discovers that Pretorius had led a deadly double life. The more he digs, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. For Cooper is a man with his own secrets, and learning the truth about Pretorius just might save his life - if he isn't killed first. A thrilling, action-packed story combined with a thoughtful, complex portrayal of an unforgettable time and place and the human desires that drive us all, regardless of race, colour or creed.
