This dark and suspenseful novel tells the story of a fictitious
West African country caught in the grip of civil war. The
dispassionate and deadpan narrator, Asante Kroma, is a former head
of Secret Services and finds himself living with the corpse of the
dictator, a man who once ruled his nation with an iron fist.
Through a series of flashbacks and letters penned by the dictator,
N'Zo Nikiema, readers discover the role of the French shadow
leader, Pierre Castaneda, whose ongoing ambition to exploit the
natural resources of the country knows no limits. As these powerful
men use others as pawns in a violent real-life chess match, it is
the murder of six-year-old Kaveena and her mother's quest for
vengeance that brings about a surprise reckoning.
