Description
In Killing Sahara we once again join Ishmael Forfona — the world-weary U.S. detective — and O — his irrepressible Kenyan counterpart — as they set up their sleuthing business together in Nairobi. When a body is discovered half-eaten by animals in Ngong Forest, Ishmael and O are called in as consultants by the Kenyan police. For this body is not any body. Not anybody at all, in fact. The forest is notorious as a place of execution — the great and the not so good of the Kenyan underworld almost always eventually wash up there with a bullet in them — but none of the crime bosses are MIA and no one seems to know anything about the body in Ngong. What starts out as a simple case of identifying a corpse will lead Ishmael and O across continents and deep into a plot to overthrow the Kenyan government.
Written in Mũkoma wa Ngũgĩ's distinctively fast and furious style, it promises to be a hell of a ride.
