Adapted into a feature film in 2005 starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz and based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria, this is a story about Justin Quayle, a British diplomat whose activist wife is murdered. Believing that there is something behind the murder, he seeks to uncover the truth and finds an international conspiracy of corrupt bureaucracy and pharmaceutical money.
