Nairobi Heat by Mukoma Wa Ngugi
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Melville International Crime

A cop from Wisconsin pursues a killer through the terrifying slums of Nairobi and the memories of genocide …

In Madison, Wisconsin it's a big deal when African peace activist Joshua Hakizimana — who saved hundreds of people from the Rwandan genocide — accepts a position at the university to teach about "genocide and testimony". Then a young woman is found murdered on his doorstep.

Local police Detective Ishmael — an African-American in an "extremely white" town — suspects the crime is racially motivated; the Ku Klux Klan still holds rallies there, after all. But then he gets a mysterious phone call: "If you want the truth, you must go to its source. The truth is in the past. Come to Nairobi."

It's the beginning of a journey that will take him to a place still vibrating from the genocide that happened around its borders, where violence is a part of everyday life, where big-oil money rules and where the local cops shoot first and ask questions later — a place, in short, where knowing the truth about history can get you killed.
