The Keepers of the King’s Peace

„The Keepers of the King’s Peace” is another entry in Edgar Wallace’s eminently popular „Sanders of the River” series based on British attempts to bring their administration to darkest Africa. An elite crew of officers is charged with getting to the bottom of a female shaman’s seemingly miraculous powers, but bumbling new addition Bones keeps getting in the way. Will they be able to stave off a mass rebellion before it’s too late? Always with tongue in cheek, Edgar Wallace nevertheless provides insights into the period of history at the same time. Wonderful characters, enthralling stories, never a dull moment. These stories are as good as any of the „Sanders of the River” stories.
