Publisher's Synopsis
A foreign woman is dead and two countries want the truth buried along with the body. But when her autopsy reveals a horrific secret, Detective Finn O'Brien vows to find out who she is and why she died. Together with his partner, Cori Anderson, Finn follows a twisted trail that leads into the veiled and exotic world of L.A.'s exiled African community, the luxurious enclaves of Hollywood and finally to the doorstep of a third world despot whose cruelty knows no bounds and whose influence has a stranglehold on the City of the Angels.
