Seller's Description:
New York. 1972. June 1973. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0060128976. 245 pages. hardcover. Cover: Ivan Paslavsky. keywords: Mystery South Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Jonathan Rogers, a young, local tennis star, was making-or attempting to make-love to young Penny Jones, when he thought he saw someone watching, and charged off in pursuit of the intruder. Which was how the murder of handsome twelve-year-old Boetie was discovered. The killing seemed bizarre and senseless. Lieutenant Trompie Kramer of the South African police force and his Bantu assistant, Sergeant Mickey Zondi, went to work on the case. Which seemed to tie in with the apparently accidental death of an American teenager. THE CATERPILLAR COP is not only a first-rate suspense story, but an insider's picture of a way of life. JAMES McCLURE, whose first novel, THE STEAM PIG, was heralded, has done an equally exciting second novel. JUDITH CRIST says: ‘It's rare that a second book surpasses a first-rate first-but McClure's new novel not only presents again a complex and intriguing society and fascinating characters but also offers a topnotch mystery that enthralls and enlightens every exciting step of its ultra-satisfying way. The now-familiar terrain comes to fresh life and the protagonists-Lieutenant Kramer and Zondi-are richer than ever. I'm not really prone to blurb and burble, but I haven't enjoyed a detective story so much in a long time-not since the last McClure! ' inventory #5187.
