Publisher Description
In the follow-up to the acclaimed series debut The Missing American, PI Emma Djan investigates the death of a Ghanaian fashion icon and social media celebrity, Lady Araba.
Hard-hitting talk show host Augustus Seeza has become a household name in Ghana, though notorious for his lavish overspending, alcoholism, and womanizing. He’s dating the imposing, beautiful Lady Araba, who leads a selfmade fashion
empire. Fearing Augustus is only after her money, Araba’s religious family intervenes to break them up. A few days later, just before a major runway show, Araba is found murdered in her bed. Her driver is arrested after a hasty
investigation, but Araba’s favorite aunt, Dele, suspects Augustus Seeza was the real killer.
Almost a year later, Dele approaches Emma Djan, who has finally started to settle in as the only female PI at her agency. To solve Lady Araba’s murder, Emma must not only go on an undercover mission that dredges up trauma from her past,
but navigate a long list of suspects with strong motives. Emma quickly discovers that they are all willing to lie for each other—and that one may still be willing to kill.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An open-and-shut case proves to be anything but in Kwei Quartey’s engrossing murder mystery. Fashion designer Lady Araba was murdered in an exclusive gated community in Accra, Ghana, and the police are sure they’ve jailed the killer. But those dots don’t connect for Araba’s aunt, who hires private detective Emma Djan to investigate the closed case. We love how Quartey skips around in time, giving us snapshots of events before and after the murder. The lengths that Djan and her colleagues go to in order to uncover new evidence—flattery, disguises, sharp leaps of deduction—give the story plenty of old-school charm. Veteran narrator Robin Miles’ smooth delivery kept us grounded in every time hop. This is a surprising and crackling-good mystery.
