Cold Chop
The car looked modern. Even under the dim streetlamps, the paintwork was shiny. She steeled herself and approached, and saw something that made her feel sick to her a dent on the bonnet. This was the car that killed her sister.
Ghana, 1966 … a time of coup plots and Cold War geopolitics. A young woman is fatally injured by a hit-and-run driver. The police don’t get involved, and it’s left to others to seek justice.
Fifty years later … amid a scramble to exploit Africa’s renewable energy potential, an engineer is found dead – electrocuted. The police say it’s an accident. His daughter says he was being threatened by people who want his land.
The two victims are related. Somehow, it seems, their deaths are too.
Cold Chop is the third novel chronicling The Investigations of Patrice Le Congo, a series of crime stories from Africa with a global dimension.

Totally gripped by the time shifting and the clever revealing of connections. Someone needs to buy up the film rights!
