Synopsis: “An intelligent, masterfully crafted, and all-too-plausible spy novel that will thrill fans of Olen Steinhauer and Daniel Silva” (Robert Dugoni, New York Times–bestselling author of Murder One). In the savannahs of Namibia, a boxcar sits, locked and watched. There is no limit to how many people would die from what’s inside. And there is no limit to how many people would kill for it. Hayden Stone is summoned back to the CIA to help navigate the choppy diplomatic waters between the United States, Canada, England, South Africa, and any number of other players in a mission to prevent the worst of weapons from falling into the wrong hands. While representatives from other countries are there to help him, Stone knows the only person he can trust is himself, and that once the weapon is located, all bets are off. His mission will take him into palatial mansions and parched-earth slums, into the shadowy world of black ops and the chaos of an endless war. It will lead him directly into the crosshairs—but whose finger is on the trigger? “Not only is The African Contract a great read, but you know that with Art Kerns’ FBI/CIA background he really knows what he’s writing about.” —M. A. Lawson, author of Rosarito Beach
