The Guyana Contract is about high-powered executives, including a strong female protagonist, and their influence on a small South American country. After graduating from college and before pursuing her career, Drucilla Durane embarks on a European excursion. She begins with little more than street smarts and a Eurail pass, and it all goes smoothly until her arrival in France. After being shown around Marseille by a handsome young French-American named Theron St. Cyr, she continues to Paris, where she finds herself in a harrowing situation. Thinking St. Cyr is to blame, she vows never to forget him. Fast-forward several years: Drucilla works for Pilgrim, Boone and Associates, an influential American consulting firm that seeks out only the most lucrative contracts in developing nations. As the only black female in the company's upper echelon, Drucilla considers her race and gender to be both a liability and an asset. Working on a case concerning air transport in Guyana, Drucilla finds herself embroiled in an affair of dirty dealings that, without prior warning, just so happens to involve St. Cyr. Corporate politics, a rapidly changing global marketplace, a nation's struggle to chart its own course, the scourge of human and illegal drug trafficking, and individuals whose inner conflicts undermine their ability to trust each other in life-threatening circumstances frame the narrative of this novel. 3
