A fragile peace. A deadly secret. A case no one wants solved.

In 2010 Uganda, Nola Butero-a young woman with deep connections to both the government and the infamous Lord's Resistance Army-is gunned down in cold blood. Her death deals a fatal blow to fragile peace talks and leaves a nation reeling.

When the investigation stalls and the main suspect disappears, American investigator Billy Senchant is brought in to make sense of the chaos. But what he uncovers is more than just a murder. Nola wasn't merely a casualty-she was a catalyst, a linchpin in a delicate game of political chess.

Why was Billy-an outsider-called in to unravel a case everyone else wants buried?

Unless someone chose him for a reason...

And the truth he uncovers will cost far more than he's prepared to pay.
