Résumé
In this &“fine mystery . . . British expat/private investigator in West Africa, Medway is as fully realized as Raymond Chandler&’s Philip Marlowe&” (Publishers Weekly). In West Africa&’s underworld, nothing is sacred and no one is safe. Even its most experienced denizens can… get caught off guard, as fixer-for-hire Bruce Medway discovers when a case gone wrong entangles him in toxic-waste scams, mafia money, and—worst of all—a quest for vengeance. After Napier Briggs hires Medway to help recover money he lost in a scam, he winds up dead. And the police show little interest in solving the crime. But Brigg&’s daughter, Selina, isn&’t interested in justice—she&’s out for revenge. And she&’s willing to do whatever it takes to get Medway on her side. Between the lies, deceit, seduction, and murder, Medway might finally have met a job that&’s too dangerous even for him. &“Scintillatingly evokes a world where the scam is a way of life . . . For once, a novelist influenced by Raymond Chandler is not shown up by the comparison.&” —The Sunday Times &“A compelling mixture of brutal violence and deadpan wit.&” —Kirkus Reviews
