Book
After fleeing the Congo as refugees, Tina and her mother arrive in Kenya. Her mother quickly finds work as a maid for a prominent family, headed by Rodolfo Grenadier, one of the city's most respected business leaders. But Tina soon learns that the Grenadier fortune was made from a life of corruption and crime. So when her mother is found shot to death in Mr. Grenadier's personal study, she knows exactly who's behind it. Tina spends the next four years surviving on the streets alone, working as a master thief for the Goondas, Sangui City's local gang. Finally, Tina gets a chance for vengeance but as soon as she steps inside the lavish home, she's overtaken by the pain of old wounds and the pull of past friendships, setting into motion a dangerous cascade of events that could, at any moment, cost Tina her life.
