Stephen Harrington, a friend of Leo, is concerned that his daughter Rachel, an aid worker, has gone missing in Zambia. Leo and his colleagues fly to Africa where Rachel's corpse is discovered. It seems that she was investigating the deaths of local villagers and may have been silenced. In the absence of the local coroner, the team get involved but find that uncooperative police officers are not exclusive to Britain.—don @ minifie-1
Harry Cunningham, Leo Dalton and Nikki Alexander travel to Zambia to help mining engineer Stephen Harrington, whose daughter Rachel has been killed. The trio of pathologists was recommended to Harrington by his employer, South African Peter Ellis, who is Nikki's childhood friend. Rachel was a doctor who worked at a local mission hospital run by Christopher and Harriet Andrews. Rachel was well-liked by everyone and fit in well in the local community. Nikki's autopsy however reveal something unexpected: the remains they are examining are not those of Rachel but of an older woman who had borne several children.—garykmcd
