Suspense
Corruption, drug smuggling, rampant human rights abuses—New
York journalist Lindsay Cameron finds plenty to report,
covering the regime of Nigeria’s President Michael Olumide.
But in the aftermath of two probable assassinations, her
inquiries attract unwanted government attention. As rebel
factions call for free elections, Lindsay races to penetrate
the intricate network of corrupt government officials, oil
interests, and CIA agents who really run the Nigerian show.
Meanwhile, her entanglement with a rare art dealer leads her
still deeper into terrain that’s confounding in every
respect – from matters of the heart to those of politics and
trade. Drawing from Nina Darnton’s own experiences living in
Africa during the mid-1970s—including imprisonment in
Nigeria with her two small children—An African Affair
is an edge-of-your-seat debut thriller in the bestselling
tradition of The Constant Gardener and The Last
King of Scotland.
