This very tense and informative novel provides a brief but vivid entree to the unfortunately typical post-colonial stresses and government corruption so crushing to the people of many newly-independent states. The narrative has some stylistic issues, with jumps in point of view and over to minor characters, which are not only jarring but diffuse the tension in a way that detracts from the story.
