In the slums of Accra, Ghana's fast-moving, cosmopolitan capital,
teenagers are turning up dead. Inspector Darko Dawson has seen many
crimes, but this latest string of murders--in which all the young
victims bear a chilling signature--is the most unsettling of his career.
Are these heinous acts a form of ritual killing or the work of a lone,
cold-blooded monster? With time running out, Dawson embarks on a
harrowing journey through the city's underbelly and confronts the brutal
world of the urban poor, where street children are forced to fight for
their very survival--and a cunning killer seems just out of reach.
