Lynne Lewis, in the Peace Corps in French speaking Africa, is stationed in the far North of Togo during a time of national instability. Four violent deaths occur. In a period of near revolution, in a country with twenty languages and a strong belief in voodoo, Lynne uses her knowledge of the volunteers and her growing knowledge of Togo to help Inspector Mc Duff, a temporary State Department official without a staff, to discover the murderer. | |

Lynne Lewis is appointed Fulbright Professor at the University of Togo after her years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Almost immediately, she finds evidence of a bloody murder on the run-down campus. She struggles to help the eager Togolese English majors to get college degrees despite increasing instability as the country tries to gain democracy and depose the long term dictator. Lynne helps the US State Department sort through the eccentric group of Americans at the university and several perhaps sinister Africans to solve the violent deaths of two colleagues. | |

When Lynne Lewis left Togo during violent political unrest, she hoped for a safer life in Benin, the neighboring French speaking country. But danger erupts as soon as she crosses the border. A threatening encounter at the checkpoint turns deadly as a man is shot in a confusing gun battle. Once Lynne arrives in Cotonou for her new job at the American Cultural Center, she works frantically to establish the English Language Program while helping Inspector Mc Duff find the surprising malignant force behind the violence in the American community of Benin. | |

Lynne Lewis has married her long-time lover, Everett, the Economic officer at the State department in Benin. However, the joy of her recent marriage is darkened by the murders of three Americans. She hopes for a new closeness with her husband when he asks her to help solve the crimes, which seem somehow related to voodoo witchcraft in the Embassy itself. Then gorgeous Daphne, a State Department consultant, appears. Soon the murderous rivalries, sexual and political, are revealed. Lynne realizes she is in personal danger until the killer is found. Oddly, her fascination and close attention to Africa’s beautiful fabrics help her solve the mysteries. |
