This is a fabulous story that had me hooked from the beginning. The opening chapter was one of my favourites, and as the story unfolds you can really understand the characters actions. Paul was a bit shocked to hear that his Geologist friend Chuck was killed in a helicopter accident, but hes even more surprised when he hears that the State Protection Unit were investigating it.

Without giving much of the complex plot away I can say this is well written, has great humorous moments and a carefully chosen lead character whose often naive ideas clash with the harsh reality and push him to his limits.I
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The Liquidator is kind of like a spy novel and kind of like a thriller. Only the main character is not a spy but an accountant working for a company that manages the winding up of affairs for companies that are being shut down for bad debts. Bwana Paul (I dont recall last names being mentioned for any of the characters) is in an unnamed African country bordering on Rwanda near the time of the conflict between the Hutus and Tutsis.
I import industrial quantities of class A drugs, kill people, and lie (a lot) - see my website for details.
Not the sort of book I'd normally read, but I like this author so gave it a try. Great, I couldn't put it down.
