Lords of Corruption, by Kyle Mills

Lords of Corruption, by Kyle Mills. This is among the best thrillers to come out this or any other year. Kyle Mills cuts to the chase as well as the quick as the hero, Josh Hagarty, goes to Africa as an aid worker, and finds out that the graft and corruption of the government has fed back into the organization for which he works. He deals with a corrupt dictator, a vicious assistant, a greedy boss, and a criminal director. He must fight his way through a culture of corrupt back slapping (as well as stabbing that includes the use of machetes and burning tires) just to get home. Besides being an action-packed thriller this novel gives a riveting portrayal of the conditions and scenes that reveal sub-Saharan Africa as a conglomeration of failed nation states, crumbling economies, and violent civil wars. This is an important novel you will not want to miss.
