Summary:
"Global headlines come to life as intrigue and international politics collide in the Congo in this electrifying debut thriller. After a devastating experience in Darfur strips Alex Baines, former rising star of the State Department, of his security clearances, he is faced with two choices: spend the rest of his career in visa-stamping limbo or move to the private sector. On the verge of resigning, he receives a call from his old mentor with an incredible opportunity to start over. The job isn't quite what Alex imagined it to be when he finds a shady U.S.-based mining company everywhere he turns."
