It?s 1968 and one communal house in West London, home to the last, desperate remnants of an Aboriginal tribe, echoes with drum-calls and unintelligible chants. And it reeks of blood?the animal blood used in divination rituals and the blood of the tribe?s murdered chief. Detective Jimmy Pibble specializes in the peculiar, but he?s never before had to play anthropologist.
