Disguised By Blood | Detective Riverson #1 (ONC '22)

|The gruesome and heart-wrenching unsolved killings that have plagued Ghana's Volta Region for nearly three years have left Voltarians terrified in this thrilling murder/mystery novel. |

For three years, Brew Riverson, age 30, a well-known Detective had been following the series of unsolved gruesome murders that had hit three towns in the Volta Region of Ghana.

Though there are no clues or evidence linking anyone to these murders except the autographed Ananse Ntentan always carved on the forehead of the victims, Riverson believes there is a pattern, some kind of message, a mystery that only he can unravel.

When all his attempts to unravel these mysteries yielded no result, causing him to lose the one thing he valued most in life, Riverson relinquished his badge of duty, his dignity going down with it, ready to have an attempt at what a normal life could be. A life lived for love, a life devoid of the stench of dead bodies.

Then, killings of the same kind began springing up in Amedzofe. This time, three different victims, murdered around the same time, all uncovered with the same Adinkra Symbol carvings.

There is a killer on the loose. There is no indication when he would strike again. And there is only one man brave enough to dare.

But is Riverson ready to trade his newfound life for the life he had vowed not to return to? When caught at crossroads, overwhelmed with his ethical ideals, which path will he take? A path of freedom or a darkened path of constant terror?
