摘要

Directed by the Secret Intelligence Service to assess al Qaeda activities in Somalia, Nairobi-based Englishman James More poses as a water consultant but is promptly taken prisoner by jihadists when he arrives in Kis-mayo and is confined to a lightless, vermin-infested room before being marched through the unforgiving Somali landscape. While marching, he recalls meeting Danielle Flinders the previous Christmas at France's Hotel Atlantic, where they conducted a discreet, sparring affair.
