Resumen del Libro

The Senegal-based operations of Tulsaco Oil Corporation are blown away due to an Al Qaeda–sponsored terrorist attempt. The director, Amina Hadad Bryson, escapes the attempt, but not so for her son. After the funeral, Amina is kidnapped and violently tortured by the CIA, which causes her to go into shock and she has to be admitted to a hospital. It seems that nobody can denounce the conspiracy that is behind these attempts and unmask the large oil companies that are exploiting the natural resources of Africa or holding them in reserve, at the cost of hunger to its inhabitants.
