Days after his seventeenth birthday, Edward Siedle received a series of cryptic messages indicating his father had suddenly disappeared in a remote region of Uganda, East Africa. Robert Siedle was last seen badly beaten at a Ugandan Army barracks, where he was captured while investigating a brutal massacre of hundreds of soldiers by President Idi Amin. His disappearance, which was reported in Newsweek magazine within days, alerted the world that the friendly dictator so many governments including the United States had supported was a monster. Amin’s regime would ultimately be responsible for the torture and murder of almost half a million people. Edward, now a renowned American forensics expert, returns to Uganda twenty-six years later to retrieve his father’s bodily remains and solve the mystery surrounding his life and death. Since his father was rumored to be involved with the Central Intelligence Agency, thousands of previously classified CIA, U.S. Department of State and Ugandan Commission of Inquiry documents had to be reviewed in anticipation of the journey. Upon his return to Uganda, Edward must interview victims, witnesses, and prisoners on Death Row to complete a son’s obligation to his murdered father.
