From the Edgar Award-winning author: " A] highly readable novel of political adventure . . . a cracking good story and the Africa mentality is fascinating" (Kirkus Reviews).
Clinton Shartelle doesn't seem like a good choice to run a political campaign in Albertia...


For one thing, he's American, and Albertia is a small coastal republic in Africa, about to be cut loose from the English Crown. For another, Shartelle is Southern and fiercely proud of it, and his ideas about racial politics veer unpredictably from progressive to rigidly old-fashioned...



When a southern gentleman runs the political campaign for a man seeking premiership in Africa, the razzmatazz of American electioneering collides head-on with traditional African culture.
