Storia
Justin Quayle, a low-key British diplomat stationed in Nairobi, Kenya, becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy after his wife Tessa, an outspoken activist, is found murdered under mysterious circumstances. Initially believed to be a crime of passion involving her alleged affair, Justin's investigation reveals that Tessa had uncovered a plot involving the pharmaceutical industry and the British government, exploiting African populations with experimental drugs. As he digs deeper, Justin risks his life across three continents to expose the truth, ultimately leading him to confront powerful figures within the diplomatic corps.
