A small West African town ...
A dark secret ...
A chilling murder ...

Set in Ghana, the action moves compellingly back and forth between the capital city of Accra and a town in the Volta Region. Wife of the Gods brings the culture and beauty of its setting brilliantly to life. For fans of Alexander McCall Smith comes a debut mystery novel that introduces a marvelously intuitive detective and a rich cast of characters.

Crisp, engrossing debut.. Fans of McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels will relish the opportunity to discover yet another intriguing area of Africa.
Booklist, Starred Review

Move over Alexander McCall Smith. Ghana has joined Botswana on the map of mystery . . . more sociological than McCall Smith's, his setting [is] more rural and susceptible to the ways of magicians..[This] newcomer is most welcome.
Kirkus Reviews

Quartey's winning debut, a police procedural set in modern Ghana, introduces gifted detective Darko Dawson ... a wonderful creation, a man as rich with contradictions as the Ghana Quartey so delightfully evokes ... readers will be eager for the next installment in what one hopes will be a long series.
