For Dawson, this sleepy corner of Ghana is rife with emotional land mines: an estranged relationship with the family he left behind twenty-five years earlier and the painful memory of his own mother’s inexplicable disappearance. Dawson is fluent in Ketanu’s indigenous language, so he’s the right man for the job, but the local police are less than thrilled with an outsider’s interference. When we first meet Dawson, he’s been ordered by his cantankerous boss to leave behind his loving wife and young son in Ghana’s capital city to lead a murder investigation: In a shady grove outside the small town of Ketanu, a young womanâ a promising medical studentâ has been found dead under suspicious circumstances. Introducing Detective Inspector Darko Dawson: dedicated family man, rebel in the office, ace in the fieldâ and one of the most appealing sleuths to come along in years.
