About this ebook
With her fathers sermons constantly whirling around her head, she seeks the services of a local witch doctor who prescribes her a ritual bath. But when Ali, the constable she later meets and falls in love with after taking the prescribed bath, becomes the third victim of an elusive killer, Duski begins to wonder if this is the work of a wrathful deity.
Like the other victims, when Alis body is discovered, his genitals are missing, but Duski is convinced that the ritual bath she took before meeting him, has something to do with his deathif she hadnt taken the bath, would he still be alive?
With neither suspects nor leads and unwilling to let the murder of one of their own go cold, CID begin to take an interest in Duskis whereabouts on the night Ali died. The lack of a credible alibi and the determination to get CID off her back and find her boyfriends killer leaves Duski with a difficult choice. But can her fathers sermons stop her from crossing over to the dark side?

Betty Keletso Knight was born in Lentswe-le-Moriti, a picturesque, privately owned religious village in the Tuli Block and a popular tourist destination in eastern Botswana. Her father was one of the village pastors who spent week days in Selibe-Phikwe, a mining town where he ran a taxi business, while her mother taught at the local primary school. Betty spent time in both the village and the mining town and later went to a boarding school in Tonota village where she completed her secondary education. Betty undertook a year’s national service before joining the Botswana Police Service, and after successfully completing training, she was posted to Central Police Station, in Gaborone. After two years of beat patrols and shift work, she was transferred to the Special Support Group and was attached to the Botswana Police band where she played the saxophone and flute in the marching band and performed backing vocals in the dance band. After five years of service, Betty resigned from the police service at the rank of sergeant to retrain as an English teacher. She studied both English and music at Molepolole College of Education, where she met her husband-to-be, who was a lecturer at the college. After graduating with a diploma in secondary education, they both moved to Gabane where she got her first English teaching post at Nare Sereto Junior Community School. In 1998 Betty moved to England with her husband and settled in Alton, Hampshire. Four years later, she went on to study English at Winchester University and subsequently went on to study for a master’s in contemporary English literature, which she successfully completed in 2007. Teaching English and writing crime fiction now take up most her time, but she periodically revisits Botswana to see family and friends.
