Description
Zimbabwe’s dark history demands a reckoning in The Lupane Legacy, the first in a series of novels of international intrigue by State Department spokesman Darby G. Holladay.
In a terminal in Kyrgyzstan, beautiful international banker Devon Kerr brought Joshua Denham the papers that would make him a wealthy man. A year later, her face still haunts him. Now she’s turned up in the last place he’d expect—a private embassy function in Washington, DC.
Patrick Khumalo was raised by Joshua’s aunt and uncle as one of their own, after his entire village in rural Zimbabwe was massacred before his eyes. Twenty-nine years later, his cry for help to Joshua’s cousin and Patrick’s old playmate, Constance, draws Joshua and Devon after her to Africa, and to a reckoning with the ghosts of the Rhodesian Bush War.
The Lupane Legacy is a story of tangled family ties, of the long shadow of history, of betrayal and redemption, and of two people finding a new beginning.
This book is available in hardcover, trade paperback (both available from Ingram’s), Kindle ebook, and audiobook editions.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“Engrossing. . . . A recommendation for even the most seasoned thriller reader.”
—Diane Donovan, e-book reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“For anyone who loves historical thrillers that transcend
continents—this is the book for you." —five-star Amazon review
"The author has weaved together a beautiful story winding its way through
Washington, D.C. and exotic locales around the world. He shows an obvious
knowledge of the system as well as a subtle touch for dialogue and character
development. This is the kind of fiction which reveals more about the truth
than the little we are given from official sources. And in the most
entertaining way possible (I read parts on the beach and parts curled up at
home on a rainy day)." —Mary, five-star Amazon review
"Whether we were in Zimbabwe, on Embassy Row in D.C. or Front Royal,
Virginia, his writing is so vivid and credible I felt transported there."
—Martha V., five-star Amazon review
"Few novels move so quickly as this surprising debut thriller. Not only do
we meet credible characters about whom we care . . . but we also learn a lot
about African politics." —Grady Harp, Top 100 Hall of Fame Amazon
