Explosive ending - oh no, not Marc!  You capture the grubbiness and seediness of power play, and the sadness of the individual lives destroyed on all sides.  This has been a really gripping and enjoyable story.

Hi Simon

I am babysitting my grandson, and he is busy watching a video so I have had time to read the rest of your story. Well done in creating a very exciting and detailed book. What will you do with it now?

Thank you Jean, it's very good to hear how you much you enjoyed Ebolowa, especially because you said right at the beginning that thrillers weren't the kind of books you normally read.  Now I have to find a way to get a lot more people like you to read it!  And there's another one cooking, based on another true story a few years later in Iran, called The Wrong Domino.  It used to be the second half of a crazy rambling monster of a draft before I realised the impossibility of weaving together that much excitement and information (not to mention the spread of locations including Cameroun, France, Niger, Manchester and Chicago!).  It was too much for me let alone the reader.  Nothing like falling off a bike to have you rethink!  Good luck with your next venture.  simon

This is really great Simon (if a little depressing) Good place to end - leavingthe Harry/Cany thing to reader's imagination. Excellent picture of O'connell and her interiro thoughts too. Really super. ONly faintly remember the earlier versions but this is much much more conclusive and really good.
