The “writing team of native Africans Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip,” whose novels appear under the name Michael Stanley, choose their “top 10 African crime novels.”
The 10 books we've chosen all capture some aspect of African culture or location. All but one relate to sub-Saharan Africa – the lands of colonies and colonial masters; of newly democratic countries and post-independence struggles. Reading these books will introduce you to areas with which you may be unfamiliar and perhaps give you new insights into some of the oldest cultures in the world. – Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip, The Guardian
