Despre această carte audio
Vicious hate crimes are rocking the LGBTQ+ community in Accra, and prejudice and politics threaten to stymie
PI Emma Djan’s investigation.
Author Kwei Quartey tackles a real-life—and deeply personal—issue as an anti-gay bill threatens to tear Ghana
apart.
Marcelo Tetteh, a twenty-seven-year-old LGBTQ activist, is butchered one night after being lured on Grindr to
a deserted building site. With rampant homophobia in Ghana, Marcelo’s wealthy father doesn’t trust the Ghana
Police Service to find the killer, so he goes to the Sowah Private Investigators Agency for help, partly because
he still feels guilty for disowning his son when he came out.
Emma is assigned the case, but quickly learns of a complication that prevents her from teaming up as usual
with Jojo, her trusted colleague. Emma is the only one at work who knows Jojo is gay, and now he reveals
something else: for some time, Jojo was dating Marcelo, the victim.
Working with Manu, whom she’s never gotten along with, Emma goes undercover in the International Congress
of Families, a powerful organization seeking to criminalize homosexuality in African countries. As Emma
infiltrates the ICF, she uncovers a web of deceit and hypocrisy and discovers that the mastermind behind the
murders is someone much closer than she ever imagined. Emma must race against time to unmask the killer,
protect the vulnerable LGBTQ+ community, and bring justice to the victims, all while navigating the dangerous
waters of politics, power, and personal secrets.
