A woman lay sprawled across the passenger seat, half-naked. A quick scan revealed no other bodies inside. He rapped on the window, but the woman remained unresponsive. Samuel hurried back to his car and dialed 911 on his cellphone.
“Hello, I’m reporting a suspicious vehicle parked on the roadside of this cornfield. Yes, but there is no corn—it’s winter, okay? There is a woman inside. Inside the car. She’s not responding.”
The operator calmly asked him to identify himself.
“I’m Samuel Mugyenyi—I’m a resident on Parker Street, not far from here.”
Samuel scanned the inside of the car again with his flashlight.
“A woman, half-naked. She’s in the passenger seat. She isn’t moving.”
The cold pressed in around him, the night unnervingly still. Twenty feet from the highway, beneath the glare of his headlights, Samuel stood frozen—unsure whether the woman inside the locked SUV had merely passed out… or if he had just stumbled upon something far worse.

Set against a hauntingly familiar Africa, the novel exposes corruption, truth, and the dangerous power of secrets.
