"Annabelle Chase, a witty former crime reporter on her annual visit to her aunt's convent in Malamulele, South Africa, is witness to a vicious homicide. Teaming up with Detective Baloyi of the local police, their search for the murderer enters the dark world of "muti" killers who sacrifice women and children. And it takes Annabelle and Baloyi into a savage and final confrontation with machete-wielding cultists."--Publisher description on back cover.
