Synopsis
Tamar Myers returns to Africa in The Headhunter's Daughter, the second book in her wonderful mystery series set in the Belgian Congo in the mid-twentieth century--a riveting and atmospheric follow-up to The Witchdoctor's Wife. Raised in the Congo herself, the child of missionaries, Myers uses her intimate knowledge of the people, the culture, and the landscape to add richness to this stunning story of an abandoned infant raised by a tribe of headhunters--a masterful mystery that fans of Alexander McCall Smith and The #1 Ladies' Detective Agency will adore.

Product Description
The Headhunter's Daughter Myers, the bestselling creator of the Den of Antiquity mysteries, delivers the second book in her new mystery series set in the Belgian Congo. Full description
From the Back Cover
From Tamar Myers, author of The Witch Doctor's Wife, comes a spellbinding tale of equatorial Africa and a child torn dangerously between two worlds.
In 1945, an infant left inadvertently to die in the jungles of the Belgian Congo is discovered by a young Bashilele tribesman on a mission to claim the head of an enemy. Recognized as human--despite her pale white skin and strange blue eyes--the baby is brought into the tribe and raised as its own. Thirteen years later, the girl--now called "Ugly Eyes"--will find herself at the center of a controversy that will rock two separate societies.
Young missionary Amanda Brown hears the incredible stories of a white girl living among the Bashilele headhunters. In the company of the local police chief, Captain Pierre Jardin, and with the witch doctor's wife, the quick-witted Cripple, along as translator, Amanda heads into the wild hoping to bring the lost girl back to "civilization." But Ugly Eyes no longer belongs in their world--and the secrets surrounding her birth and disappearance are placing them all in far graver peril than anyone ever imagined.
