bones": Being Further Adventures in Mr. Commissioner Sanders' Country

In the sun-baked territories beyond the empire's edge, Mr. Commissioner Sanders maintains a precarious peace among warring tribes, his authority tested daily by chiefs who plot and scheme beneath a veneer of loyalty. When Sanders departs for the coast, he leaves behind Bosambo, the Ochori chief known as Bones, a man of exhausting intelligence who has already married fourteen wives and mastered the art of manipulating both his people and the British administrators who fancy themselves his masters. Now Bones must navigate a brewing war between the Ochori and Akasava, a audacious kidnapping that threatens to ignite region-wide chaos, and the delicate balance of power that keeps the colonial machine running. Yet for all the political machinations and tribal warfare, this is ultimately a story about the thin line between civilization and savagery, and who gets to decide where that line lies. Edgar Wallace delivers pulse-pounding adventure with sharp wit, populating his fictional African frontier with characters who are neither simple heroes nor straightforward villains.
