Book Description
lmore Leonard, New York Times bestselling author and "the hippest,
funniest national treasure in sight" (Washington Post), brings his
trademark wit and inimitable style to this twisting, gripping—and
sometimes playful—tale of modern-day piracy
Dara Barr, documentary filmmaker, is at the top of her game. She's
covered the rape of Bosnian women, neo-Nazi white supremacists, and
post-Katrina New Orleans, and has won awards for all three. Now, looking
for a bigger challenge, Dara and her right-hand-man, Xavier LeBo, a
six-foot-six, seventy-two-year-old African American seafarer, head to
Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, to film modern-day pirates hijacking
merchant ships.
They learn soon enough that almost no one in the Middle East is who he
seems to be. The most successful pirate, driving his Mercedes around
Djibouti, appears to be a good guy, but his pal, a cultured Saudi
diplomat, has dubious connections. Billy Wynn, a Texas billionaire,
plays mysterious roles as the mood strikes him. He's promised his
girlfriend, Helene, a nifty fashion model, that he'll marry her if she
doesn't become seasick or bored while circling the world on his yacht.
And there's Jama Raisuli, a black al Qaeda terrorist from Miami, who's
vowed to blow up something big.
What Dara and Xavier have to decide, besides the best way to stay alive:
Should they shoot the action as a documentary or turn it into a
Hollywood feature film?
