At the onset of the investigation, the body of the murdered man begins to tell the story of the events leading up to his death, but no one is listening to him. Life on Felix Faure Street goes on, just as it does every day. As the mystery unfolds, community members get involved in the investigation. Guided by supernatural elements that manifest in the form of four elusive veiled figures, they will come face to face with a brutal truth about the horrifically mutilated man and those he has abused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKen Bugul\u003c\/b\u003e is the pen name of Senegalese Francophone novelist Mariètou Mbaye Biléoma.
