"Distraught by the murder of lawyer and good friend Valéria Michieka, Max O'Brien travels to Tanzania to track down those responsible. What starts as a fight for justice quickly becomes entangled with the persecution of albinos in the East African state. Thought by some to have supernatural powers, many albinos found themselves targeted for their body parts, and Max has reason to think that Valéria was killed because of her legal work defending albinos' rights and safety. Max's investigation leads him to a night of slaughter, after which Valéria had convinced her government to reintroduce harsh punishments for human traffickers. Did the lawyer's fight against the trade in body parts cost her her life? Max's search for the truth about Valéria's death is filled with unknowns, each more impenetrable than the last."-- Provided by publisher.
