A Dark Redemption (Carrigan and Miller Book 1)

Book One in the Carrigan and Miller series. Jack Carrigan, a promising young musician, experiences a traumatic encounter with a rebel force while on a post-graduation holiday in Africa with two friends. Years later, now an inspector with the Metropolitan police, Carrigan is reunited with Geneva Miller, a young detective. Together they investigate the murder of an African scholar studying in London. The investigation leads them into London's diaspora of illegal immigrants and fugitives. They learn the scholar was researching African rebel groups and had discovered an African government's involvement in silencing dissent. As Carrigan and Miller pursue the evidence, they face pressure from powerful political interests and the British government's foreign alliances, forcing them to choose between following the investigation and maintaining diplomatic relationships. Their work sets in motion events that will have lasting consequences for those involved.
