Description
Returning from the dead, the narrator of this lyrical novel is assigned a startling new role: to inhabit the body of a Mozambican police inspector investigating a murder that refuses to follow ordinary rules. As he moves through the city’s streets and the lives of those drawn to an armadillo and a frangipani tree, fear becomes a living force—shaping memory, belief, and the thin line between the seen and the unseen. With ghosts and spirits walking alongside the living, the investigation unfolds as both a mystery and a meditation on how communities interpret loss, danger, and the unknown. Blending surreal atmosphere with sharp human insight, the book invites readers to discover what happens when justice, superstition, and the supernatural converge.
