Summary
Big city homicide detective Darko Dawson has been requested to investigate the death of a medical resident working for Ghana’s Ministry of Health AIDS program. There's no clear motive and the local Inspector would rather arrest a boy he doesn’t like than look for the real killer, but Darko is determined to see real justice done.
Critique
The writing style of the book is light and graceful, but the story line can be harsh and uncompromising. It's easy to become emotionally connected to the characters, and you'll be sorry to finish the book. Hopefully there will more to come. Highly recommended read.
