The discovery of a decaying body in the bush off a remote mountain road in Uganda's Western Province sparks off a complex, exacting investigation to find the killers, punctuated by flashes of intuition and some bizarre twists of fate.Dead End at Buffalo Corner's author, D.J. 'Jock' Macdonald, who headed up the investigation, was an Assistant Superintendent in the Colonial Police in charge of a 2000 square mile district straddling the equator in the shadow of the fabled Mountains of the Moon. Against the background of the disruption caused by a massive influx of refugees over his border, he brings vividly to life the people, places and events surrounding the brutal murder of Joseph Henri Mazy, a Belgian fleeing to Uganda from the growing violence engulfing the Congo's independence in 1960.Dead End at Buffalo Corner is a true police procedural, rich in detail, leading the reader through every step of the case, just as it happened. It is also a rare piece of social history, giving an equally accurate picture of a slice of a life - now gone for ever - in Uganda's final years as a British Protectorate
