Shadows Out Of Africa eBook

Near the end of the eighteenth century, Kofi’s village in a remote part of Africa is brutally attacked and he is captured and sold into slavery. Thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, he is saved from being shipped to the plantations of the New World to instead remain a prisoner of Cape Coast Castle. From there, he risks his life to maintain a secret correspondence with the love of his life.
Two hundred years later, anthropologist Claudia Carpio is sent to what was once known as the Gold Coast. She is immersed in working on the most important publication of her career when she learns of some mysterious letters. Troubled by their abrupt and disconcerting ending, she finds herself compelled to investigate the murky past in order to discover what happened to Kofi and why he stopped writing. What she doesn’t suspect, however, is that you can’t close the book so easily on certain chapters of history, and she soon finds herself entangled in a dangerous game.
