Reader Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Exceptionally Rich, December 5, 2001 Reviewer: gft from Biloxi, MS USA An unusually intriguing story concerning an African politician threatened with assasination and remarkably created characters mix to create my personal favorite of all Marsh novels, one which even surpasses the authors own exceptionally high standards.
