Synopsis

The debt collector came to Kyalo’s funeral, and that was how Mwelu learned her brother had died owing the most dangerous man on the coast more than money.

Eight months ago, Mwelu Mutuku was the best forensic accountant at her Nairobi firm. Then she found nine billion shillings that were not supposed to exist, said so out loud, and was blacklisted in nine days. Now she has no work, no salary, sixty million shillings of her brother’s debt, and a brother whose death the police, the mortuary and the insurer have all agreed to find unremarkable.

People who cross Taariq Athman don’t get hurt. They get unwound. And he has a use for her.

“The money I don’t need,” he tells her. “What Kyalo was doing for me when he died, I do.”

Kyalo had been moving information for Taariq, and his curiosity found what it was never meant to find. He took it to Taariq. Ten days later he was dead at the bottom of the Likoni stairs. Now Taariq is offering Mwelu the run of his books and the one thing no one else will give her: the chance to prove her brother was murdered, and by whom. His only condition is that whatever she finds, she brings to him first.

From the Kilindini cold stores to accounts in Dubai, the money leads somewhere she has been before. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to keep her distance from the man whose books she is reading.

Some debts are paid in skin and salt.

The Devil’s Terms is the first book in the Skin & Salt trilogy: dark, slow-burn romantic suspense set on the Kenyan coast, with a morally grey hero, a heroine who is never less than his equal, and open-door intimacy without explicit detail. For readers 18 and over.
