World War II is over but Hooper Taliaferro is still in Africa, this time in Cabinda, a tiny Portuguese colony with gaily painted buildings and a history of slave-trading. Hoop should have a pleasant stay at the home of the local administrator, but when one of the other guests is murdered, Hoop calls in Dr. Mary Finney, the Miss Marple of the tropics. As usual, the formidable Dr. Finney has both stellar sleuthing skills and a .45 in her "necessaries bag."

Matthew Head is the pseudonym of John Edwin Canaday (1907-1985), an art critic and writer. Canaday was a New York Times art critic for seventeen years and authored several monographs of visual art scholarship. Late in life he wrote restaurant reviews for the Times. Under the Matthew Head pen name he wrote seven mystery novels, three of which are set in the Congo and based on his experiences traveling there as a French translator in 1943. Canaday was born in Fort Scott, KS; his series sleuth, Dr. Mary Finney, is said to be from Fort Scott as well.
