It's nearly a year after the events of The Honey Guide and Mollel is far from his beloved Nairobi, in a fly-blown town at the edge of Hell's Gate national park. Undercover and investigating the disappearance of several prominent criminals, Mollel suspects the local police are operating a death squad and, what's more, the only way to gain their trust is to feign an attack on Mdosi, their principle target. To do this, Mollel must get himself thrown into prison. Meanwhile, the detective must also investigate a mysterious suicide - a death which he might have prevented and which is not quite as it seems.
As the investigation unfolds and events take an unexpected turn, Mollel is forced to come to terms with his Maasai heritage and confront the demons of his past.
