📖 The Scoop
The award-winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon “powerfully evokes West Africa” in this mystery thriller of greed, murder and human trafficking (Publishers Weekly).
When schoolgirls begin to disappear on the West African coast, "troubleshooter" Bruce Medway tries to remain detached. Meanwhile, he reluctantly accepts a job from his former nemesis, the mafia capo Roberto Franconelli. Bruce now has forty-eight hours to find a French trader named Marnier whom not even the mafia can track. Finding the man will mean the end of his life—and failure is not an option.
As Bruce sets out on his assignment, he discovers that it is deeply connected—through gold, greed, and superstition—to the unsettling schoolgirl disappearances. Uncovering the secrets of rich and powerful men can be deadly in a world where corruption abounds. With nowhere to turn for safe haven, Bruce must devise a scam that risks everything in order to stay alive.
