Overview
"A mile long, rusty, and worth a fortune, a freight train is steaming through the heart of Idi Amin's mad, tortured, magical, and corrupt Uganda, loaded down with kahawa, Swahili for coffee. And what the jovial bloodletter Amin doesn't know, what his most beautiful spy has not been able to wring out of her latest victim, what the world's coffee markets may be unable to swallow, is that the train and six million dollars worth of coffee are about to disappear into the hands of a colorful, conflicted, swashbuckling band of mercenaries and moneymakers." "From the ferocious, plodding enforcer Frank Lanigan, to the spirited pilot Ellen Gillespie and her heroic lover Lew Brady, the soldiers in this sting have their own motives and methods. Teamed up with the most devious of gofers and gunsels, they've all been brought together on the suggestion of Amin's own antismuggling adviser, "a man so steeped in his own villainy that the evidences of his evil now only amused him."" "Trapped amongst imperialists, crooks, and killers, the thieves are practically daring Amin to wake up and smell the coffee. And if the great dictator doesn't stop their heist, one of their own just might."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
