Another page turner that I couldn't put down. This is the first in the series and it was better than the second book. Darko is a good police officer but he does have some lapses in judgment especially when he returns to visit family for an unrelated case that soon becomes all too "related." We see a glimpse into rural Africa and witchcraft and it's not pretty. But what happens here is the same everywhere; envy and jealousy combining with ignorance eventually result in murder(s). The ending is emotional and cathartic. Looking forward to the third one due out in 2012.
