Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
When a young woman from Scotland’s Sierra Leonean community is found unconscious in the boot of her car, shock moves through a community centred around the Lion Mountain Church. Her death a few days later becomes a murder investigation, but the unease does not end there.
Hawa Barrie lives on the fringes of that world, close enough to know its pull and far enough to see its shadows. When a second woman disappears, her childhood friend Othella Savage, Hawa is drawn in. As the police investigation drags on, her suspicion turns towards the charismatic Pastor Ronald Ranka, and her fear for Othella grows sharper.
Desperate for answers, Hawa begins her own search, a journey that takes her from Scotland to Sierra Leone and back again. What she uncovers reveals the true nature of Ranka’s church, and dark secrets in the fabric of both countries she calls home.
