520    "Roland Nair calls himself Scandinavian but travels on a 
       US passport. After ten years' absence, he returns to 
       Freetown, Sierra Leone, to reunite with his friend Michael
       Adriko. They once made a lot of money here during the 
       country's civil war, and, curious to see whether good luck
       will strike twice in the same place, Nair has allowed 
       himself to be drawn back to a region he considers 
       hopeless. Adriko is an African who styles himself a 
       soldier of fortune and who claims to have served, at 
       various times, with the Ghanaian army, the Kuwaiti Emiri 
       Guard, and the American Green Berets. He's probably broke 
       now, but he remains, at thirty-six, as stirred by his own 
       doubtful schemes as he was a decade ago. Although Nair 
       believes some kind of money-making plan lies behind it all,
       Adriko's stated reason for inviting his friend to Freetown
       is for Nair to meet Adriko's fiancée, a grad student from 
       Colorado named Davidia. Together the three set out to 
       visit Adriko's clan in the Uganda-Congo borderland--but 
       each of these travelers is keeping secrets from the 
       others"--Publisher description.
