Dictator cover

'A byword for intelligent, topical, articulate action romps ... Carver is a reliable treat' Daily Telegraph

Millions starve and opponents are flung in jail, while Gushungo and his cronies get rich on the country's rich natural resources.

A powerful consortium of political and business interests offer Samuel Carver the job of enforcing regime change.

Africa has had more than its share of dictators, but Henderson Gushungo may be the worst. Millions starve and opponents are flung in jail, while Gushungo and his cronies get rich on the country's rich natural resources.

A powerful consortium of political and business interests offer Samuel Carver the job of enforcing regime change. Can the taking of one life save millions of others? And can Carver trust the men who hired him?

As the action hurtles from the plains of southern Africa to the teeming streets of Hong Kong, and an old enemy rises from the grave to haunt him once more, Carver becomes both the hunter and the hunted in a deadly game where the survival of a nation is at stake.

Tom Cain just goes from strength to strength. If you have yet to sample his books, start soon. Its like James Bond, but even better! * crimesquad.com *
