4.0
This is Reginald Hill's pseudonym, and has quite a different tone from the books written under the under name. It's about Uganda during Idi Amin's rule there, and deals with the British government's role(s) there, focusing on one agent. Twenty years later, the daughter--who was pre-school aged when she lived in Uganda--is still having nightmares about her mother's death. In the course of trying to figure out what really happened she manages to uncover everybody's secrets, from person tragedies to political dynamite. Pretty good--I had no idea what happened to her mom, and the international stuff was very interesting.
