An Ensign Early novel of the Anglo-Zulu War - South Africa, May 1879. Ensign Early of the 24th Foot division is only just warming to his role as the Provost-Marshal in the British army encampment at Landman’s Drift when an unidentified body turns up, and forces him to embrace his new position of power in order to solve the mystery. Early quickly discovers that the body is that of a lieutenant, who met his end during an illegal duel. His death should be treated as manslaughter... or worse, but with the gentleman’s code still strong among the offices, how will Early catch the killer before the Zulu’s attack?
