Boy Who Stole the Leopard's Spots

Like Alexander McCall Smith's ever-popular No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels <em>The Boy Who Stole the Leopard's Spots</em> immerses readers in a breathtaking African landscape they simply will not wish to leave. For the third time author Tamar Myers carries readers a world away from Charleston South Carolina and her Den of Antiquity cozy mysteries--circling the globe to the Belgian Congo in equatorial Africa in the 1950s. <em>The Boy Who Stole the Leopard's Spots</em> is a wonderfully engrossing breathtakingly evocative return to the lush locale of her previous acclaimed African-set mysteries <em>The Witchdoctor's Wife</em> ([A] mesmerizing novel....Authentic. Powerful. Triumphant --Carolyn Hart) and <em>The Headhunter's Daughter</em>--as a monsignor of the Catholic church shamed by a secret event in his past and accused of a terrible crime must join forces with an American missionary a police chief and a witchdoctor and his wise-woman wife to clear his name. <br />
