Return to Kasangulu

It is 1996, and Melanie, a young American high school teacher returns to the Congo whee she grew up. The moment she arrives in the capital city of Kinshasa, she finds herself swept up in mystery and intrigue. Mr. Corneliesse, the Dutch teacher who picks her up at the airport, is found murdered the next day, and because of what she might have seen, Melanie becomes a target. Her life in the beautiful rural area of Kasangulu, is turned upside down by two other teachers at the school. Roger and Pete are undercover CIA agents assigned to find what connection Mr. Corneliesse may have had with arms smugglers, supporting a rebel army against the Congolese government. Heidi, a Swiss nurse at the mission station, joins the three friends and provides an important clue that might lead Pete and Roger to those responsible for the crime.
