The Caterpillar Cop, by James McClure (used)
The Caterpillar Cop, by James McClure (used)
When a twelve-year-old boy is found strangled and hideously mutilated it looks like the work of a sex killer.
There are some bizarre clues: tangerine lipstick, a coded message, an accidental drowning, the death of a dog, and a sliced caterpillar... Lieutenant Kramer of the Trekkersburg Murder Squad and his Zulu colleague, Sergeant Zondi, really have to sweat it out before the facts make any kind of sense.
"James Mcclure provides not only action, pace, excitement and similar old hat stuff, but more sense, more insight, more feeling, more about what it must be like in South Africa, more wit, more ingenuity, more craftsmanship, more art than you could find displayed by the sort of writer you see lengthily and respectfully reviewed in a month of Sundays (and of weeklies and dailies too).' Kingsley Amis
condition: good (yellowed pages)
