Synopsis

Twenty years ago, Ray Campbell, now a cautious risk-management consultant, was a well-intentioned aid worker dedicated to improving conditions in Lubanda, a newly independent African country. He is forced to reconsider that year of living dangerously when a friend from his time in Lubanda is found murdered in a New York alley. Signs suggest that this most recent tragedy is rooted in the far more distant one of Martine Aubert, the only woman Ray ever truly loved and whose fate he'd sealed in a moment of grievous error.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A story of guilt, murder and politics set in Africa and New York from the acknowledged master of psychological suspense.

Ray Campbell runs his own risk assessment firm in New York. He's cautious, careful and considered in everything he does. But he hasn't always been this way.

Twenty years ago, Ray took big risks. Working as an aid-worker in the newly independent African state of Lubanda, Ray fell in love with a country, and with a woman. Martine, a native white Lubandan, tried to make Ray see that all actions have consequences, but he couldn't. Not until it was too late for him, and for Martine...

When a friend from Lubanda is found dead in a New York alley, Ray is forced to revisit a past he's spent a lifetime trying to forget...
