Книга дельная. Без воды, приводятся реальные кейсы и способы их разрешения. Много практичных полезных советов и методик. Кое-что уже испробовала в дел...

Hasn't the doctor got some?
Alec
No!
[There is a pause. Alec looks at him slowly.
George
Why are you all looking at me like that? You look as if you were going to try me for something.
Dick
Nonsense! Don't be so nervous.
Alec
[Abruptly.] Do you know anything about the death of that Turkana woman?
George
No! How should I?
Alec
Come now, you must know something about it. Last Tuesday you came into camp and told me the Turkana were very excited.
George
[Unwillingly.] Oh, yes! I remember something about it. It had slipped my memory.
Alec
Well?
George
I'm not very clear about it. The woman had been shot, hadn't she? One of our station boys had been playing the fool with her, and he seems to have shot her.
Alec
Have you made no inquiries as to who the man was?
George
[In a surly way.] I haven't had time. We've all been worked off our legs during these three days.
Alec
Do you suspect no one?
George
I don't think so.
Alec
Think a moment.
George
The only man who might have done it is that big scoundrel whom we got on the coast, the Swahili.
Alec
What makes you think that?
George
He's been making an awful nuisance of himself, and I know he was running after her.
Alec
I understand she complained about him to you?
George
Yes.
Alec
Do you think that would be enough evidence to punish him on?
George
He's a thorough blackguard, and after all, if one does make a mistake, he's only a nigger.
Alec
You'll be surprised to hear that when the woman was found she wasn't dead.
[George gives a movement of consternation.
Alec
She didn't die for nearly an hour.
George
