Eduardo Kariuki is a conscientious forensic investigator who doubles as a climatologist. Working from Nairobi's Kayole area, he exposes white-collar crime with typical zeal, with some energy left over for the occasional quest into activism and social issues agitation.
When his brother-in-law, Tito, a scientist at the Mrima Hill rare earth elements mine in Kwale, goes missing, Kariuki is not sure what to think. But when his bosom friend, Momanyi, also disappears, and foreigners from all corners of the globe show up at Tito's home with threats of doom and disaster, he has to take action.
Will he find Tito before the Chinese, Arab and Burmese strongmen track him down and extract what they want out of him? Can he make any sense of the strange happenings at the Mrima Hill mine, and find out why Kwale has suddenly become a bastion of some of the most dangerous terrorists in the world?
Toil and Trouble is a rollicking new crime thriller by Daudi Juma, the author of the stunning romantic suspense novel, Wisdom Shall Die With You.
