Product Description
When the phone rings late one night Thomas Kane is unexpectedly called to Africa to deal with the death of his parents, who moved there several years earlier to open a winery. Thomas arrives in the war-torn country and meets Bobby Foster, a "consultant" who tells him the truth about his parents' death.
The region is under the thumb of a band of lawless rebels who live in the hills beyond the winery and who have free reign to do whatever they want. They are led by General Nehemiah, who may be a sorcerer and shapeshifter and who definitely is a charismatic and dangerous man who instills fear in everyone he meets.
Thomas concerns himself with handling his parents' affairs but things soon spiral downward. When he finds himself in circumstances more harrowing than he could ever have imagined, he takes to heart the words of H.L. Mencken, who said "every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
