The spellbinding story of an American lawyer who takes on a nearly impossible case--the defense of an African freedom fighter against his corrupt government's charge of murdering three PetroGlobal workers.
"Een Amerikaanse advocaat neemt een bijna onmogelijk taak op zich, namelijk de verdediging van een Afrikaanse vrijheidsstrijder die wordt beschuldigd van moord in een land dat is doordrongen van corruptie."
""Damon Pierce se encuentra en una encrucijada vital: su carrera como abogado en California, aunque brillante, no acaba de satisfacerle y se halla en pleno divorcio con su mujer. Por ello, acepta sin dudarlo la llamada de ayuda de Marissa Brand Okari, una mujer con quien mantuvo una relación años atrás. Marissa está casada ahora con Bobby Okari, el carismático líder de un grupo opositor al gobierno autocrático que rige en su país, Luandia. Este país del oeste de África, rico en petróleo, es un objectivo codiciado por muchos, en concreto por una compañía petrolífera americana que mantiene vínculos muy estrechos con el general Savior Karama, dirigente del país. Karama, que ve a Bobby Okari como una amenaza para sus intereses, no dudará en acusarle de asesinato a raíz de una protesta que éste organiza durante un eclipse solar. Pierce aceptará su defensa, aunque ello le suponga arriesdar su vida."--Page 4 of cover."
"Damon Pierce's life has hit a crossroads. His wife is divorcing him, and his work as a successful litigator in a Cailfornia megafirm has become soulless. So he decides to respond to a plea for help from a woman he once loved. Marissa's husband, Bobby, opposes the ruin of his African homeland, Luandia, caused by the partnership between a giant American oil company and the brutal regime of General Savior Karama. When Bobby defies Karama's ban against nighttime protests, everyone in his village is massacred - and Bobby is arrested for the murder of three oil workers."
"California lawyer Damon Pierce finds his own life in danger when he accepts a desperate plea from his former lover to defend her freedom fighter husband against bogus charges involving the corrupt government of the oil-rich nation of Luandia."
