But old habits die hard, and when cerebral Mombasa detective Daniel Jouma-seemingly the only good policeman in a city where corruption is king-asks for his help in solving a baffling murder case, the two men find themselves drawn into a deadly conspiracy involving local hoodlums, murderous ex-pats, and a mysterious and psychopathic kingpin who presides over a sickening trade in innocent human life.
