Heat of the Sun

In the hedonistic days of 1930s Kenya, Superintendent Albert Tyburn, a former Scotland Yard detective, is sent to Nairobi to set up a new criminal investigation unit. His cases uncover false confessions, blackmail, arson, drug-dealing, slavery and a tangled web of murder, but his investigative methods upset the cliquey Colonial set, leaving him to be quickly shunned by the decadent expatriate community.

As Tyburn digs for the truth, he meets the bright, headstrong and fiercely independent daughter of a munitions millionaire who is ill at ease with the debauched excesses of the 'Happy Vally' set. Will these two outcasts find a certain solace in each other's company amongst the criminal fraternity? And what dark secret is Tyburn hiding?
