    "A Startlingly Original Tale of Heartbreak and Suspense"

    "A car tumbles down a snowy ravine. Accident or suicide? On the other side of the world, a young woman walks out of a sandstorm in sub-Saharan Africa. In the labyrinth of the Niger Delta, a young boy learns to survive by navigating through the gas flares and oil spills of a ruined landscape. In the seething heat of Lagos City, a criminal cartel scours the internet looking for victims. Lives intersect, worlds collide, a family falls apart. And it all begins with a single email: “Dear Sir, I am the son of an exiled Nigerian diplomat, and I need your help.”

    "419" takes readers behind the scenes of the world’s most insidious internet scammers. After Laura’s father gets caught up in a swindle and ends up paying with his life, she embarks on a journey for justice or revenge, deep into the dangerous alleyways of the Lagos underworld to confront her father’s killer. What she finds will change her life forever." SOURCE: Goodreads Book Review
