Bones Of The River 

’Taking the little paper from the pigeon’s leg, Hamilton saw it was from Sanders and marked URGENT. Send Bones instantly to Lujamalababa… Arrest and bring to head-quarters the witch doctor.’It is a time when the world’s most powerful nations are vying for colonial honour, a time of trading steamers and tribal chiefs. In the mysterious African territories administered by Commissioner Sanders, Bones persistently manages to create his own unique style of innocent and endearing mischief.
