Synopsis

Nwankwo, head of financial investigations for the Nigerian government is in hiding in London. When he witnesses a series of killings that are clearly linked by financial and political interests he forms an alliance with fellow witnesses Felix, a junior prosecutor, and Lira, an investigative journalist. They are isolated, afraid and pursued by the oligarch's men, Western secret services and goons sent by Nigerian oil magnates. A fast-paced thriller set in the world of bubble-bursting finance with a dramatic denouement in Versailles.
