Inspector Darko Dawson Mysteries

Darko Dawson has just been promoted to Chief Inspector in the Ghana Police Service, but he doesn't have long to celebrate, because he's being transferred for at least a year to remote Obuasi, an area notorious for the illegal exploitation of its gold mines. When the murder of a Chinese immigrant miner crosses his desk on only his second day, Dawson learns how dangerous it is to pursue justice in a town where the worst offenders have so much money they have no fear of the law.
