Headless in Kita by Moussa Konate
Someone is killing Kita's street beggars in the most brutal way imaginable, shaking the close-knit provincial capital to the core. When a mysterious glowing figure is seen in the hills above the town, the rumor quickly spreads that dark forces are at work. The elders and imams, convinced that the killings are divine retribution for the community's sins, pressure the local police force to close the case. Captain Demb©l©, way out of his depth, requests urgent assistance from Bamako. Inspector Habib - like the author himself, a native of Kita - and his deputy Lieutenant Sosso are sent to lead the investigation, allying modern policing techniques and their intimate knowledge of local lore. Together they overcome ethnic tensions and cultural, religious, and administrative challenges to reveal the astonishing truth behind the murders.
