An Atmospheric African Police Procedural of Oil, Intrigue, and Murder on Ghana's Coast
In Murder at Cape Three Points, author Kwei Quartey delivers the gripping third mystery in his critically acclaimed Inspector Darko Dawson series. Set along the scenic yet volatile coast of western Ghana, the story begins with a horrifying discovery off Cape Three Points: a fishing canoe drifts against an offshore commercial oil platform carrying the mutilated, ritualistically displayed bodies of a prominent local executive couple.
Dispatched from Accra to lead the high-stakes investigation, Detective Inspector Darko Dawson finds himself immersed in a powder keg of competing interests. The recent discovery of offshore oil has triggered intense friction between mega-corporations, land-grabbing entrepreneurs, local politicians, and traditional fishing villages desperate to protect their ancestral lands. As Dawson digs into the couple's lives, he uncovers a maze of corporate corruption, personal vendettas, and local superstitions, risking everything to bring a killer to justice.
Why You'll Love This Book
Named an ABA IndieNext Selection, Murder at Cape Three Points offers an authentic, vivid portrait of modern Ghana alongside a classic, tightly plotted whodunit. Readers who enjoy international crime fiction, police procedurals, and books by Alexander McCall Smith, Henning Mankell, Michael Stanley, and Deon Meyer will be captivated by Darko Dawson's relentless pursuit of truth.
