When vulnerable Gordon Tilson becomes the unwitting victim of an online scam, he finds himself alone in the whirlwind city of Accra, with a hardened resolve to uncover those responsible. But his decision leads him into unimaginable danger, and now his son Derek has lost all contact with him, and fears for his life. With no choice but to travel into the heart of Ghana, Derek begins a near impossible search for his father.
Frustrated by the inadequate local police, Derek turns to Emma Djan, a young private detective desperate to prove her worth. In a heart-stopping race against time, they must expose those at the very heart of Accra's power who are willing to kill to protect their secrets, if they are to find the missing American.
