Summary
A whistleblower comes forward claiming to have witnessed everything and pointing the finger at someone nobody expected: Jonathan Moi, the president’s son. It's almost too far-fetched to be believed, but his name starts coming up again, and again. An incriminating scrap of paper. A police statement locked up for decades. Rumours of a romance. Katherine investigates the evidence.
