At the beginning Max illegally gains 2 million dollars from a billionaire owner of a successful cell phone company. He gives half of this to a past lover who runs a foundation to stop the trafficking of body parts taken from murdered albinos and to protect those still living. This includes a safe place to stay and an education. Max is angry and dismayed when his estranged girlfriend and her adult daughter, also working for the foundation, are brutally murdered and their money seems to have vanished. He is determined to use his investigative skills to find their killers and the motivation for the crime. Soon two other people are found murdered under very similar circumstances but their connections are not easily apparent. His detective work runs him afoul with police and some dishonest politicians.
Meanwhile the scene shifts to a seniors’ residence in Texas. An elderly man, declining in physically and mentally, has walked away from the home and has disappeared. He insisted in moving there after retirement and is very distant from his wife whom he left behind. Despite being ignored, she enlists the help of her son-in-law to track him down.
I would have liked to see a chart of the various African characters and their role in the plot. The events unfold fast and furious with many twists and secrets revealed in this complicated story. When the mysteries in Africa collide with the one in Texas the plot becomes even more action packed and thrilling. . Recommended for those who enjoy mysteries set in far off places with some history of regional and tribal conflicts and politics added. I plan to read more about Max’s past exploits.
