Children of the Street: An Inspector Darko Dawson Mystery | Kwei Quartey
2 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
In the slums of Accra, Ghana’s fast-moving, cosmopolitan capital, teenagers are turning up dead. Inspector Darko Dawson has seen many crimes, but this latest string of murders—in which all the young victims bear a chilling signature—is the most unsettling of his career. Are these heinous acts a form of ritual killing or the work of a lone, cold-blooded monster? With time running out, Dawson embarks on a harrowing journey through the city’s underbelly and confronts the brutal world of the urban poor, where street children are forced to fight for their very survival—and a cunning killer seems just out of reach. From the Trade Paperback edition.

4.5/5
I love this detective series set in Accra, Ghana. It's the #2 in the series. I will definitely keep reading it.

Darko Dawson has to find a serial killer targeting the street children of Accra. While being a mystery, it also reveals the difficulties faced by street children, the nepotism and corruption in the police force, but also how some people at every level try to help.

I like that Darko Dawson isn't a perfect detective.

An excellent second book in the Darko Dawson series, set in Ghana 🇬🇭. Really sad in places because of the nature of the victims and the descriptions of where they lived and how they got there. Surprisingly funny and touching in others, with a good whodunit. #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC5 #setinAfrica #LitsyAtoZ #LetterQ (image from web) @jessica
