An epidemic has hit West Africa, but Commissioner Sanders hears stories of a woman, M’lama, who can reportedly heal the sick and even raise the dead.As he investigates the claims, he uncovers something that muddies the waters between scientific fact and the supernatural. On the face of it, ‘The Keepers of the King’s Peace’ is a rip-roaring adventure story. However, with some incisive acid, Wallace throws the spotlight on the cultural clash between the invading Europeans and native Africans, during the height of the British Empire. A superb introduction to the works of one of the 20th century’s most imitated writers, ‘The Keepers of the King’s Peace’ will delight those interested in British colonial history.-
