    About this ebook

    Book One in the Carrigan and Miller series

    Jack Carrigan, a promising young musician, is on a post-graduation holiday in Africa with two friends. Driving at night, unsure of their route, they encounter a rebel force high on drugs and their own cruelty. Years later, Jack is now an inspector with the Metropolitan police. The two survivors of the deadly confrontation meet regularly but are unable to talk about the tragedy until Jack unites with young, spirited detective Geneva Miller and the pair begins to investigate the murder of an African scholar studying in London.

    The case pulls Carrigan and Miller into a London diaspora, a largely inscrutable cauldron of illegal immigrants and fugitives. They soon discover that the scholar was researching African rebel groups and had uncovered the complicity of an African govenment in a a brutal campaign to silence dissent.

    Carrigan and Miller find themselves caught in a fierce conflict between the obligation to follow evidence wherever it leads and foreign alliances critical to the British government. This combination of a bruising crime investigation competing against the forces of powerful political interests unleashes events that will forever change the lives of both the innocent and the guilty.

      A Dark Redemption A dark redemption was my first book by Stav Sherez it follows DI Jack Carrigan and DS Geneva Miller trying to investigate a Murdered Ugandan student they both discover she was a student in London. I enjoyed this book.
    • 3/5
      An enjoyable police procedural, this is apparently the first of a series, but that is not particularly obvious from either the plot or the characterisation. The story flows well and the ending is surprising, if not totally satisfactory. I will try book 2 fairly soon to assess whether or not I want to follow this author.
    • 5/5
      It's been awhile since a book grabbed me the way this one did -- read it in one sitting with a break for dinner. For those who have been to or have an interest in Uganda and other parts of Africa where tribal conflict and corrupt leaders have led to despair, this crime novel is one you will want to read. I agree with another reviewer that it is a dark and disturbing story, particularly the ending. I highly recommend it.

      I've had some luck in the past picking up the first in a new series by an author I've never read. Not this time, sadly. This was weak and overwritten with poor characterization, a plot that simply spirals out of control and very little to recommend it. Shame. Next!
    • 5/5
      Well, I’ve found another favorite author thanks to his latest book ( see previous review) I received from Early Reviewers group.Great detective story, don’t want to put down read- reminds me of Jo Nesbo reads.Highly recommend.

    • 4/5

      First novel in the Carrigan and Miller series.
      This is Stav Sherez’s third novel, but the first in a new series from him. In it he introduces DI Jack Carrigan and his newly appointed assistant, Geneva Miller. Not only has she been recently demoted, but has also been given an assignment by Carrigan’s superior officer, Superintendent Branch.
      The story has flashback sections at the beginning of each of its three parts, flashbacks telling the story of Carrigan and two student friends on an attempted visit to Murchison Falls in Uganda following their graduation. What happens then has a great impact upon the whole story.
      The rest of the action takes place in England, mainly in London, but the Ugandan influence is very strong, and for anyone who was not already aware of the awful predicament of many child soldiers in Uganda, there is a clear indication of what many of them went through. Under the leadership of Joseph Kony and the The Lords Resistance Army many of these youngsters were forced to kill their own families and were then dragged into a life of murder, degradation and rape. This may be strong to stomach for many, but the read is worthwhile.
      Carrigan is a troubled character, very introspective, but the lively and independent minded Miller makes a very good partner for him. I have to admit that I did not see the end coming until it was literally too late, and in some ways that ending was quite distressing.
      Sherez has an excellent way with words, some of his descriptions being filled with dazzling and thoughtful prose. The depth of research has led to some very credible characters, but I will need a breather before I tackle his next novel in the series because, as the title indicates, it is a dark and disturbing read.
