Andrew was ten - the murder was just a foot away.

Andrew Duncan has a condition. He's been thirty-four for fifty-one years, and Big Pharma wants to know why - he's worth millions to them. His escape from their relentless pursuit finds him in the Eastern Congo, a battleground of warring factions and a hub for conflict minerals and wildlife trafficking.

Jacques Mertens is the kingpin of this abhorrent trade. Andrew is compelled to fight it and halt the suffering of countless wild animals, but Mertens will kill to protect his business.

Throughout, the spectre of Big Pharma looms over Andrew and his friend Kirsten, far away in England. Somehow, Andrew must protect her while safeguarding his own future, yet still fulfil a child's promise.

If you like Jo Nesbo and Harlan Coben then this second story in Andrew Duncan's very odd life, after Thirty-Four, is for you.
