Description

Four friends, recent college graduates, travel to Kenya to work at a refugee camp for Somalis. Two men, two women, each with their own reasons for being there. But after twelve weeks, they're ready for a break and pile into a Land Cruiser for an adventure. Hijacked by bandits, they wake up in a hut, hooded, bound, no food or water. Hostages. As a personal favor John Wells is asked to find them, but he does so reluctantly. East Africa isn't his usual playing field.

Description

For countless Somali asylum seekers the Hagadera camp has been crucial, providing shelter in the wake of severe drought and war. Yet it has never been safe. And when four American volunteers at the camp take off for a well-earned rest, bandits hijack their Land Cruiser, and they awake in a hut to find themselves hooded, bound, without food or water. Hostages. Ex-CIA agent John Wells is persuaded to go to Kenya to track them down. But Wells is no expert on kidnappings or East Africa. And the truth is more complex than he ever could have imagined. Only one thing is certain: the clock is ticking, and the White House is edging closer to an invasion of Somalia.
