Devil`s feather

"In 2002, five women are discovered barbarously murdered in Sierra Leone. Reuters Africa correspondent Connie Burns suspects a British mercenary: a man who seems to turn up in every war-torn corner of Africa, whose reputation for violence and brutality is well-founded and widely known. Connie`s suspicions that he`s using the chaos of war to act out sadistic, misogynistic fantasies, fall on deaf ears - but she`s determined to expose him and his secret. The consequences are devastating." Connie encounters the man again in Baghdad, but almost immediately she`s taken hostage. Released after three desperate days, terrified and traumatized by the experience--fearing that she will never again be the person she once was--Connie retreats to England. She is bent on protecting herself by withholding information about her abduction. But secluded in a remote rented house - where the jealously guarded history of her landlady`s family seems to mirror her own fears - she knows that it is only a matter of time before her nightmares become real.
