From back cover: Kramer & Zondi on magnificent form. If you have not yet met Lieutenant Kramer of the Trekkersburg police and his sergeant Zondi, then start now, as they investigate simultaneously two very different cases: the death of a stripper found in her dressing room with Clint, her pet snake (a fine example of python regius), wound round her neck; and the murder and robbery of a number of small trders in Peacevale, Trekkersburg's black suburb...Snake is just as ingenious, well constructed, rudely witty and exciting as the previous three novels and, like them, throws some unexpected light on South African life.
