A rash of opened graves begins to appear across three towns in the peaceful West African country of Sub-Sahara. Simultaneously, people are being found bludgeoned, bruised and weak. The local police investigations had failed to turn up any useful leads-hindered largely by local traditions, and corruption. The Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) was finally called in to assist.
