The Chi-Town Roughriders by Masimba Musodza

Masimba Musodza continues the story of Chenai “Ce-Ce” and Farai Chisango, a Rastafarian sister and brother duo who run a detective agency in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe. As armed bank robberies increase, the Dread Eye Detective Agency is called in to assist by captains of the country’s financial sector. Ce-Ce just happens to be in a bank when it falls victim to a daring, apparently well-planned raid and Abrihet, another Rastafarian woman, is kidnapped. Why did the robbers take her? And why would they invite the full wrath of a legal system that still provides for capital punishment by leaving her to be found dead on the edge of the city?
