4 CITIES, 4 LIVES, 1 CRIMEÖ In Madrid, an Argentinian bookseller gets caught up in the scheme of an American professor to prevent an appalling crime. Her sidekicks soon include a Gambian migrant in Paris and a Spanish waitress in London. Seeking some sort of companionship in their exiles, the four characters join forces in a quest that becomes a dangerous obsession. All four lives seem to be fatefully connected. But how to get people to take the crime seriously if it does not yet exist? In Buenos Aires, the criminals are remorselessly pursued. They cross paths with a Nigerian judge, the wife of one of General Francoís thugs, a caretaker to the wealthy, and Peter Halbtsen, an expert in Chinese culture. It is early March 2004. Halbtsen has spent years deciphering a book which may hold the key to the mystery. But where is the crime? Who is the criminal? And can anything be done to prevent humanity from reaping the whirlwind?

Mstahamilivu hula mbivu, mtaka cha uvunguni sharti ainame, na mchumia juani hulia kivulini. Ni machache ya maadili yamuongozayo binti Malaika katika safari yake ya kutimiza ndoto zake. Kujiendeleza kielimu ndiyo ndoto yake kuu. Kwa vile Mungu hamtupi mja wake, anabahatika kwenda ughaibuni kitaaluma. Ni safari inayomtenganisha na mpenzi wake, Ben. Lakini Ben anaahidi kumsubiri hadi afuzu masomo yake. Katika kipindi hiki cha utengano, dunia inawapangia mambo mengine kabisa, ni utengano unaotishia kulisumu penzi lao. Majaribu hayeshi, vishawishi ni vingi. Penzi lao linayumba, linatishia kudumbukia kwenye dimbwi la damu. Lakini Malaika haliachii penzi lake kwa Ben, analipigania kishujaa. Ben pia anaingia vitani kulipigania penzi la Malaika. Je, watashinda vita hivi vya kimapenzi?

Mr. Justice Barnabas Samatta retired from the Bench in July 2007 after a distinguished legal career spanning 41 years. Of the four decades of active life, he was a State Attorney, half of which he was the Director of Public Prosecutions. For the rest of the period, he was at then bench of the High Court of Tanzania and ten years in the Court of Appeal. At his retirement, he had spent seven years as Chief Justice of the country, thus at the helm of one of the three branches of the State. This book reproduces some of the leading judgements written by Justice Samatta. It highlights, in a critical fashion, some of his beliefs and observations as embedded in his decisions and speeches. This is to celebrate him as an example of an ethical lawyer whose integrity cannot be questioned, making him a worthy model for the younger generation to emulate and draw inspiration from. Justice Samatta''s decisions touched on key areas of: Rule of Law and the Consitution, where he emphasised that the constitution crystallises a consensus among citizens as to the nature and character of their polity and governance; Access to Justice, about which he believed that the doors to justice should be opened to all regardless of their station in life or economic position; Ethics, Integrity and Professionalism where he frequently quoted Nyerere ''There are some jobs in our society that can be done by unethical people...Being a judge or a magistrate is not one of these jobs...''; and Environmental Law where he argued ''The vulnerability of our planet has reached such a depressing degree that there is no greater service judges can render to mankind than playing their role in the protection of the environment...'' He summarised his life-long conviction by saying: ''Let everyone in our society give justice a chance to prevail''.
