Every paradise hides its serpent.

Kenya's white settlers had won for themselves an Eden-like existence in the 1950s ... until suddenly Mau Mau of the Kikuyu tribe slipped down to slaughter in the heart of the Mackenzie family, to ravage and terrorise and turn smiling, feckless Africans back to the worst devices of their primitive devils. A powerful, gripping, and sometimes shocking novel
