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 stomach: 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 killed 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 a company that wants 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.
