HTML:<p><b>First in the series: A "truly fabulous" mystery starring a policeman and a nun in the South Pacific of the 1960s (<i>The Globe and Mail</i>, Toronto).</b><br /> <br /> It's not easy being Ben Kella. As a sergeant in the Solomon Islands police force, as well as an aofia, a hereditary spiritual peacekeeper of the Lau people, he is viewed with distrust by both the indigenous islanders and the British colonial authorities.<br /> <br /> In the past few days he has been cursed by a magic man, stumbled across evidence of a cargo cult uprising, and failed to find an American anthropologist who had been scouring the mountains for a priceless pornographic icon. Then, at a mission station, Kella discovers an independent and rebellious young American nun, Sister Conchita, secretly trying to bury a skeleton.<br /> <br /> The unlikely pair of Kella and Conchita are forced to team up to solve a series of murders that tie into all these other strange goings-on, in this crime novel with "a fascinating setting" (<i>The A.V. Club</i>).<br /> <br /> "A sparkling plot (complete with an unexpected conclusion) and a rich history of the Solomons and their native people. But it's Kella and Conchita—and Kent's wit—that makes this unusual mystery work, and readers will eagerly await the next installment." —<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i></p>. Media Type: eBook.
