Once upon a time, Tracy Whitney made the people who destroyed her family account for their sins. Now someone is looking for payback . . . Tracy Whitney never thought she wanted to settle down. With her suave and handsome partner, Jeff Stevens, she'd been responsible for some of the world's most astounding heists, relishing the danger and intensity of life on the wild side. Together, she and Jeff have made enough money for several lifetimes conning the rich, corrupt, and greedy out of their ill-gotten fortunes. But there is still one thing missing from Tracy's perfect life: a baby. At first, "going straight" feels like a new adventure. Tracy makes plans for a family, while Jeff indulges his passion for antiquities working at the British Museum. But as the months pass and Tracy's longed-for pregnancy doesn't happen, she finds herself yearning for the adrenaline rush of the old days. When a mysterious and beautiful stranger enters their lives, Tracy and Jeff's once unbreakable partnership is suddenly blown wide open. Jeff wakes one morning to find Tracy gone, vanished without a trace. For more than a decade, a broken Jeff struggles to carry on knowing Tracy is out there somewhere. But the rest of the world believes Tracy Whitney is dead . . . until a series of murders leads a tenacious French detective to her doorstep. Eleven victims, in ten different cities, over nine years—all bearing the hallmarks of the same killer. Madrid, Lima, London, Chicago, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, New York, Mumbai . . . all the cities where Tracy pulled off some of her most brilliant capers. Someone is targeting her, manipulating a series of disturbing events and raising terrifying ghosts she thought were dead and buried. Once again, this clever woman finds herself out on the edge, playing the odds in a desperate game of roulette. But this time she's got everything to lose—including the man she cannot forget. Jeff Stevens saved Tracy's life once. Now it's her chance to return the favor. To stop a devious enemy hidden in the shadows, she will need to dig deeper than she's ever gone before, to put her trust in some unlikely allies, and to find the strength and courage to defeat her rivals and protect everything she loves. Tomorrow has come at last. But it isn't the future Tracy bargained for."

When it comes to writing, Charles is a guru and ever since I started reading his work, I’ve never been disappointed. Such a great book, I enjoyed every bit of it. The chapters aren’t too long to bore you, plot is really clear and well laid out, no unnecessary jargons( at no particular time did I have to use my dictionary or Google to look up for a word), No forced scenes or characters, yaani Kila kitu just flows effortlessly.
He is consistent in delivering quality work and honestly speaking, I think he is the most underrated author from these sides of the Sahara.
Congratulations and looking forward to another one from you

The description of the book as a family horror and thriller is justice well served. During the reading, I put the book down a number of times to gaze into nothingness to let the momental trauma pass. If I had any tears left, they would have been shed for various members of the Rukwaro family.
The mix of history, events based in actual places ( a signature in Chanchori’s bodies of work) and fiction is magical, to say the least. One of these days, I’m taking a journey down the Mara (and the book with me) just to experience the book better. I’m definitely going out to actively read and listen to first hand Mau Mau experience.
Chanchori has been and remains a literary genius.
