Her actions get the attention of Dax Miller, a CIA agent who wonders what she is doing so he pursues her.
I liked private detective Emma Djan, who has a compelling backstory, but I didn't quite feel like I got to know her because there were so many characters.
She has to deal with men who are trying to capture and/or kill her. Helena is Ghahaian like his dead wife, and when she mentions a family emergency they can't afford, he's happy to send her the money. After weeks of grooming him, disaster befalls Helena's sister and it's only natural that Gordon wants to help his friend with her sister's healthcare costs.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Young Emma Djan, now working for a private detective, is determined to find him. I'm definitely interested to see how she develops in future installments of the series, however.
If you could make one wish, what would it be?
When his beloved wife dies of cancer, he mourns her for years and becomes a fixture in a Facebook group for the bereaved. It has almost everything you need to make a compelling movie: (1) Interesting, somewhat complex plot, (2) Exotic locale, (3) Large cast of characters to add some complexity to the story line, (4) Lots of local color and atmosphere, (5) Topical themes of internet scams and of political corruption. She then discovers something from her past is come back and is the reason her son may have been kidnapped.

Kwei Quartey’s newest novel, The Missing American, opens with a sniper assassination of a Ghanaian presidential candidate, and then we are introduced to Emma Djan, whose dreams of a promising career in the Ghana Police Service are dashed when she tearfully refuses an offer of a position in Homicide in return for sex.4.5 star! The novel centers on a sakawa or an 'internet scam' in Ghana, that leads to a series of disastrous events that Emma must investigate.Author Kwei Quartey debuts the first installment of a new mystery series with The Missing American, in which readers are introduced to female protagonist private investigator, Emma Djon. While most of the story was focused on political corruption and internet scammers it was the depiction of daily life in Ghana that was truly fascinating. Once on their way, they are ambushed ...Becca is in custody being questioned by Jamie Ortega but manages to escape when a secret door inexplicably opens to let her out.
I'm definitely interested to see how she develops in future installments of the This is a relatively slow paced mystery with a really interesting presence--an American man disappears in Ghana after going to visit who he believes to be a woman he's fallen in love with over the internet (and just happens to have given several thousand dollars.) Not rated higher due to the simple writing style and lack of depth to the characters. Today, for example, the emerging wave of African mystery and suspense fiction provides a rich source of insight about that fast-changing continent. I just love Quartey's Darko Dawson series which is set in Ghana, and so glad that the new series is also set there.
Internet scams, police corruption, sexual harassment, fetish priests, affairs, and autistic children is a lot for any plot. Gordon Tilson, a retired widower, thinks he's found a new love through an online senior dating site.
When his son, Dexter, confronts him about his internet romance whom he has sent a few thousand, he travels to Ghana to meet her and prove his son wrong.This is the first in a new series from Kwei Quartey featuring private investigator Emma Djan. A homicide department colleague of her deceased father refers Emma to a private detective agency in Gabon. That’s particularly true in the case of historical novels and of stories that take place in unfamiliar settings. This book takes us to Ghana where an intrepid young policewoman tries to do her job in the face of rampant corruption and even sexual harassment.
The Missing American far exceeds his previous efforts.
