Appeal: Nairobi detective investigates a prostitute's murder.

The Honey Guide could be a good read for fans of crime fiction who enjoy a detective story set in an exotic location. This book stands out for its gripping plot and the vivid portrayal of the bustling city of Nairobi during a turbulent election period. The book's main character, Detective Mollel, is a complex and flawed hero who is not afraid to push boundaries to get to the truth. Readers will be hooked by the investigation into the murder of a prostitute that takes unexpected twists and turns, and will be drawn into Mollel's personal journey as he confronts the demons of his past.

Description

Rankin with Rhinos! THE HONEY GUIDE is the first in a breathtaking new series starring detective Mollel.For all the wrong reasons, our hero, Mollel, is assigned to the investigation of the brutal murder of a local prostitute. Was it a female circumcision operation gone wrong? Or was she the victim of a pimp or one of her customers? Mollel, who cannot leave the truth alone, whatever the consequences, soon begins to uncover something far more far-reaching.But are the warrior's instincts that have always served him so well, correct? Or will all his convictions about the case be turned on their head? The investigation will certainly become more personal to him than he could have possibly imagined.Set against the backdrop of turbulent elections, THE HONEY GUIDE brings Nairobi and its citizens vividly to life, and introduces a truly unforgettable leading man in crime fiction.
