On the Edge of Paradise

What has a ten year old research paper on bank failures got to do with the murder of a man who spends his time rummaging through dustbins in the back alleys behind Cairo Road in Lusaka? Is the beating up of part time intelligence officers near the Independence Stadium connected to the country's former chief spook, Tenford Tendolo? Why is there panic within political circles when a number of criminals are picked up in Makeni with a cooler box full of what are suspected to be human body parts? Vincent Kunda, former intelligence officer, finds himself drawn into a labyrinth of events that do nothing but distract him from concentrating on getting ready for his wedding. A visit from two security operatives closely linked to his ex-wife and a casual call from the Secretary to the Cabinet starts a chain of events that threaten to spiral out of control.
