Legitimate Business

Ritu Roy, a constable with an all-female United Nations peacekeeping
unit in Darfur, Sudan, has been shot dead. Her superiors call it a
random shooting, but her partner, Constable Priya Choudhury, thinks
otherwise. She’s found a bullet casing from a sniper’s rifle, an
uncommon weapon in the refugee camp.

The case remains closed until Valentin Vermeulen arrives to conduct a
routine audit. As an investigator with the UN, his job is to ferret out
fraud. And that casing is the first clue that Ritu may have stumbled
onto a major criminal operation. Solving the mystery of Ritu’s death
leads Vermeulen down a perilous path. With the help of journalist Tessa
Bishonga, he visits the hidden camp of a notorious rebel leader and
dodges a parade of shady characters on the streets of Port Sudan. In the
end, Vermeulen must expose the players in the not-so-legitimate
business of supplying weapons to Sudan…before he becomes their next
target.
