UNDER THE HANGING TREE is a supernatural noir about an impetuous city officer assigned to a morbid case in a small desert town in Namibia. Christina Mureti’s discipline and by-the-book investigative methodology prove ineffective in solving a series of livestock carcasses scattered across a German farmer’s property. The intrigue intensifies when the farmer Gustav Fischer is found hanged in an ancient Omumborombonga tree, and his wife Eva remains impassive, smiling menacingly at the sacrificial offerings riddling her home.
