Instruments of Darkness

Resumen del libro

Benin, West Africa. Englishman Bruce Medway operates as a fixer' for traders along the part of the coast they used to call the White Man's Grave. It's a tough existence, but Medway can handle it until he comes across the formidable Madame Severnou. Warned off further involvement by his client, Jack Obuasi, his energies are redirected into the search for missing expat, Steven Kershaw.

Against background rumblings of political disturbance, in the face of endemic official corruption, egged on by an enigmatic policeman, Medway pursues his elusive quarry with a doggedness even he cannot explain.
