The Beggars' Pursuit

Political thriller with clever twists and turns. Handsome, naïve, and loyal, Ambassador Molu Sakeseba blames himself for the recent trouble. He protected his country's interests, but Washington is not happy with Dictator Hector Motutu. The State Department's next ambassador to Democratic Republic of the Congo is proof. But Motutu summons Molu home to replace the ailing foreign minister. Sure he is forgiven, Sakeseba ignores warnings from friends in America's diplomatic corps and Fatou-Anne Cerusu, the regal Senegalese foreign minister. Kissing his wife and daughters good-bye, the ambassador flies to Abu Dhabi for intrigue, danger, and romance. In Kinshasa the hate-filled security chief Maka Mgonu and the Dictator's trap await his arrival.
