A canoe washes up at a Ghanaian off-shore oil rig site carrying the bodies of a prominent, wealthy couple, Charles and Fiona Smith-Aidoo, who have been ritualistically murdered. Months pass with no headway from the local police, until Detective Inspector Darko Dawson of the Accra CID is dispatched to Cape Three Points. As he digs deeper, Dawson uncovers a tangle of corporate conspiracy, family vendettas, and ancient traditions that pull him into a dangerous web of secrets spanning from the oil boardrooms to the fishing villages of the Ghanaian coast.
