El otoño, con su tristeza inherente, es quizás una de esas épocas más propicias para leer cierto tipo de libros en este caso se me antoja que las novelas negras pueden ser más que propicias para aprovecharlas en una de esas tardes lluviosas en las que tampoco apetece hacer mucho más que sentarse en un sillón, disfrutar de un buen café o infusión y, cómo no, de una buena novela policíaca. Just maybe it can be a bit too knowing at times - at one point it's mentioned that a Bantu is being sought by the police whose name is Nelson Mandela. Some of the passages make me think of Tony Hillerman's tales of the Navajo nation in the way that they portray native peoples customs and knowledge. The growing respect between the black and white detectives working together is paced perfectly and the story creates a wonderful sense of time and place. I laughed out loud at some points only to feel somewhat embarrassed when I realised what had made me laugh. It may sound odd given the plot and the time and place in which it is set, but it is also very funny in places.

The story is full of great characters and enough twists and turns to keep everyone happy and reading right to the end. It is the story of a woman and a male policeman blown up by a bomb paced beneath the house in which they have just made love. In the guise of a crime story it lays bare the horrifying way that Apartheid worked to enslave the black population of the country at that time. The story is set in the early 60's in Apartheid era South Africa and the language used by the whites and their attitudes towards the coloured people in the story made me wince with embarrassment and shame. The Song Dog is both a first rate crime story and an eye opening glimpse into a place and time that few of us, thankfully, have had to endure.

I'm not sure what moves an author to do so after twenty years and seven stories in the series maybe a sense that the first book didn't address how two such characters got to work together in the first place, perhaps. Prequels of this kind are rare but not unknown. It fills in the back story of how and where the two detectives came to meet and begin to work together.

It would be interesting to learn the opinion of someone with more direct experience of South Africa than my own. Featuring every shade of human venality, frailty and weakness, for me they provide perfect vehicle to illustrate the wasteful insanity of apartheid: The way the much more intelligent Zondi manages the honourable but not too bright Kramer is a delight. They are also excellent examples of crime fiction of the police procedural variety. Tough and uncompromising they illustrate they practical relationship between a white and a black policeman of the time.
