Ben Kella is the aofia (the leader) of his people in the Solomon Islands and a police sergeant working for the Brits as they are slowing turning the Islands over to independence. Sister Conchita is the new nun posted to his island, some of whose people are Catholic but many remain true to their mystical roots. A series of murders and other illegal activities lead the sergeant and the nun on the hunt to unravel this complex web and do their best to stay alive. It is a complex plot, with likeable main characters, and extremely well-written. I didn’t mean to start out reading a series, but I will absolutely read the next two in it.
