The Missing Corpse is a thriller. CIA operative Shawn Wayles has a new mission. Quietly enter Uganda and find President Joel Katila Muaji. Determine if he is alive, has ceded power, is being forced out, or is dead (hint: it’s door #4). Whichever it is, bring back proof.

In the complicated politics of Uganda, the order is anything but simple. While Shawn is working to find the truth, the president’s son, Mlevi Kainewaragi, aka The General, is charting his succession plan. Caught in the middle is an innocent, Joanne Nambatya, a worker in the sex trade and mother just trying to make it in Uganda’s complex world.
