Never Ask the Dead

Ndala has always considered matrimony a dull subject, until she witnesses the murder of the Mulosi Chieftain at his own wedding feast. The Chieftain's demise sends the village into turmoil. Driven by curiosity and her sense of justice, Ndala investigates the crime herself, even if it means defying the village elders. But exposing the killer is no simple matter. Was this murder about succession, revenge, or something else entirely? Ndala must tread carefully, or risk handing leadership of the Mulosi people to a murderer.
