A stunning literary thriller from the 2012 winner of the Giller prize that asks, how far would you go for revenge?
Lives intersect and worlds collide when a Canadian woman becomes entangled in a Nigerian internet scam.
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR REVENGE?
A car tumbles through darkness down a snowy ravine. A woman without a name walks out of a dust storm in Africa. And in the seething heat of Lagos City, a criminal cartel scours the Internet, looking for victims.
Lives intersect. Worlds collide. And it all begins with one woman´s desire to take revenge on the conmen that killed her father.
At once a thriller about a lonely woman trying to reclaim her father´s memory and a stunning novel of moral ambiguity, uncertainty and corruption. Will Ferguson´s Giller Prize-winning novel plunges into the labyrinth of lies that is ´419,´ the world´s most insidious scam.
´As good a novel about the world in its entirety, from Canada to Nigeria, as I´ve seen in years, or will likely see in years to come. It stays with you, it makes you think, and it hurts´ Gary Shteyngart.
