Suspense
The New York Times bestselling author John Hart raved that
“If you like stories of good people struggling to do right
in the world’s forgotten places, there is no one better
suited than Corban Addison to take you on the ride of your
life.” In The Garden of Burning Sand, Addison, the
bestselling author of A Walk Across the Sun, creates a
powerful and poignant novel that takes the reader from the
red light areas of Lusaka, Zambia, to the gilded chambers of
the Washington, D.C. elite, to the splendor of Victoria
Falls and Cape Town.
Zoe Fleming, an accomplished young human rights attorney,
has made a life for herself in Zambia, far from her
estranged father—an American business mogul with
presidential aspirations—and from the devastating betrayals
of her past.
When a young girl with Down syndrome is sexually assaulted
in a Lusaka slum, Zoe joins Zambian police officer Joseph
Kabuta in investigating the rape. Piecing together clues
from the victim’s past, they discover an unsettling
connection between the girl—Kuyeya—and a powerful Zambian
family who will stop at nothing to bury the truth.
As they are drawn deeper into the complex web of characters
behind this appalling crime, Zoe and Joseph forge a bond of
trust and friendship that slowly transforms into love.
Opposed on all sides, they find themselves caught in a
dangerous clash between the forces of justice and power. To
successfully prosecute Kuyeya’s attacker and build a future
with Joseph, Zoe must risk her life and her heart—and
confront the dark past she thought she had left behind.
