Kansas-born journalist David Kane never expected he would land a lucrative position at New York’s Crawley News. Still, he does, and the position is all he could have hoped for until illegal phone hacking allegations by Crawley land on the backs of several New York staffers. The Big Apple isn’t so glitzy anymore, even for David.A position opens in Crawley’s Nigerian office when a journalist was murdered while investigating the fraudulent testing and distribution of a meningitis vaccine. Despite some of the obvious dangers associated with a foreign country, David gladly accepts his relocation to Africa. After all, Nigeria is a cultural mecca, leading the country in wealth and oil exportation. He receives his first assignment immediately: investigating a bloody coup in Central Africa.The small town boy is soon thrust into a front-line political and religious conflict. He’s captured, caught in the deadly Ebola outbreak, and even has a steamy affair with his married translator-an irresistible Nigerian woman recruited by the CIA. David receives the help of a seasoned Scottish journalist, and the newbie Crawley recruit will certainly have a lot to write about-if he has better luck than his dead predecessor.
