Richard Furman never imagined he would be a murder suspect when he
signed up for the Peace Corps and shipped off to Sembeke, an island
nation off the east coast of Africa, to teach English at an elite
high school. He merely wanted to change careers, to indulge his
life long dream of becoming a teacher even though it meant giving
up a successful career in administration for New York State. As the
story opens, Richard is waiting to testify in an inquest into the
death of his native born girlfriend Caroline and wondering if he
will be able to leave the country and start his new career as a
teacher in the United States. Richard has much reason to worry.
Although he knows his girlfriend committed suicide, he also
realizes she was a secret agent of the ASN, the feared National
Security Agency of Sembeke, spying on the Peace Corps volunteers
for the new military government which has promised to "islamify"
the nation. Does Caroline's shadowy security agency want to blame
him for her death? Do they want the Peace Corps volunteers kicked
out? Richard realizes ruefully has no more idea of what is in store
for him than he knows about his native girlfriend and her past.
What he does know is that her "resume" may include the murder of
another agent of the National Security Agency, a man with
connections to drug trafficking in the United States, before he
surfaced in Sembeke to help the military coup leaders take over the
country. Will he be allowed to testify about that in the inquest or
will the ASN try to silence him permanently to keep all these messy
facts from coming out?
