It delves into political twisting both by conviction and for monetary gain by both nationals and those from other continents. As usual, this sort of thing resulted in particularly violent murders. Emma Djan left the CID and went to work for a prestigious private firm, but that did not remove her from violent crime investigations or political abuses. It was sometimes difficult for me to follow the plot lines because of the multitude of necessary characters, but that helped me wade through the vitriolic rhetoric against people who have done no harm to their abusers. This book will make you think. Adjoa Andoh brings Emma and other characters to life. I requested and received a free temporary audio EARC from RBmedia | Recorded Books via NetGalley.
