Darko Dawson has been promoted to chief inspector, but no sooner than his promotion is final, he is transferred from comfortable Accra, Ghana, out to remote Obuasi in the Ashanti region. The day after Dawson arrives, the body of a Chinese gold miner is found in his own quarry. Illegal gold mining is a dangerous occupation, but too much money makes it hard to say no. The fourth series entry (after Murder at Cape Three Points) is a solid addition to promote diversity in mystery collections.
