James McClure: Rogue Eagle (USA 1976)

From the Publisher:
VIRGINIA KIRKUS says of Rogue Eagle: "Not Lt. Tromp Kramer and his Bantu assistant this time, nor a crime story per se, but a larger action of corrosive hostilities extending the duration of apartheid back to the Boers and currently forward to a Brotherhood up in the mountains, a residue of bitter-enders in the small South African country of Lesotho. Finbar Buchanan, the 'one hidden pebble on a very pebbly beach, a reporter who's actually an agent, and his sassy blond distraction, Nancy Kitson, who's actually CIA, try to find out just what's going on in those hills while cameras and cartridges explode from page to page. McClure's South Africa where ageless resent-ments of color and politics still snake across the terrain like a brush fire is peremptory and will knock the wind out of you from the word go. Go."

And Publishers Weekly says: "McClure, author of a series of excellent mysteries set in South Africa, featuring a white Afrikaner detective and his Bantu sergeant, has stepped outside that milieu to write a gripping novel of terrorism in South Africa today."

South Africa today -- very possibly, even probably, about to explode!
And against this highly explosive background a talented novelist has set his moving and exciting story.
As this book goes to press young blacks are demonstrating in Soweto and the South African police are shooting and killing them.

But a small ray of light on the horizon -- leading South African industrialists are beginning to pressure the Government for important concessions to the majority black population.

In this major new book the reader is given an extraordinary inside look at the secret forces working in South Africa -- forces that could well affect our own lives now that West is meeting East in a dangerous confrontation on the Dark Continent.
