Overview
ONE MAN. TWIN SOULS. AN UNQUENCHABLE BEAST.
It is a muntu—a trapped spirit in the island of the dead. This creature of legend becomes a deadly reality when a killer strikes the heart of Sydney.
The victims seem unconnected, yet Investigating Officer Ivory Tembo is convinced the killings are anything but random.
The case soon leads Ivory into places she never imagined. In order to stop the killings and save the life of the man she loves, she must reach deep into her past, uncover secrets of her heritage, break a demon’s curse, and somehow unify two worlds.
