Oil on water : a novel

"From the desks of Nigeria's newsrooms, two journalists are recruited to find the kidnapped wife of a British oil engineer. Zaq, an infamous media hack, knows what's in store, but Rufus, a keen young journalist eager to get himself noticed, has no idea what he's let himself in for. Journeying into the oil-rich regions of South Africa, where militants rule and the currency dealt in is the lives of hostages, Rufus soon finds himself acting as intermediary between editor, husband, captive and soldier. As he follows the trail of the missing woman, the love for the 'story' becomes about much more than just uncovering her whereabouts, and instead becomes a mission to seek out and expose the truth. In a cruel twist of fate, Rufus finds himself taking on Zaq's role much more literally than he ever anticipated, and in the midst of a seemingly endless, harrowing war, he learns that truth can often be a bitter pill to swallow . . ." --Publisher.

  • "Port Harcourt, Nigeria, im Delta des Niger. Eine Frau verschwindet. Dies wäre keine Nachricht in den Medien wert, würde es sich nicht um eine Britin, die Ehefrau eines hochrangigen Mitarbeiters einer ausländischen Ölgesellschaft, die im Delta und vor der Küste Öl bohren, handeln. Die Entführung ist offensichtlich das Werk einer Rebellengruppe, die gegen die Ölgesellschaften kämpft, die das Land ausbeuten und zerstören. Als eine Lösegeldforderung eingeht, wittert der junge Journalist Rufus die Chance zu einer grossen Story und macht sich mit dem gealterten Starreporter Zaq auf die Suche nach der Entführten."
