In the shadows of Sangui City, there lives a girl who doesn't exist. After fleeing the Congo as refugees, Tina and her mother arrived in Kenya looking for the chance to build a new life and home. Her mother quickly found work as a maid for a prominent family, headed by Roland Greyhill, one of the cityâ€™s most respected business leaders. But Tina soon learns that the Greyhill fortune was made from a life of corruption and crime. So when her mother is found shot to death in Mr. Greyhill'sÂ personal study, she knows exactly whoâ€™s behind it.

With revenge always on her mind, Tina spends the next four years surviving on the streets alone, working as a master thief for the Goondas, Sangui Cityâ€™s local gang. Itâ€™s a job for the Goondas that finally brings Tina back to the Greyhill estate, giving her the chance for vengeance sheâ€™s been waiting for. But as soon as she steps inside the lavish home, sheâ€™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. But finally uncovering the incredible truth about who killed her motherâ€”and whyâ€”keeps her holding on in this fast-paced nail-biting thriller.
