Third Lachlan Kite. In 1995 he’s sent to West Africa to catch a war criminal from the Rwandan genocide, an operation that gets people killed and leaves a debt. In the present the same man surfaces, and the reckoning arrives with Kite’s wife and child in the middle of it. Cumming runs the two timelines against each other again, and the 1995 material — the heat, the improvisation, the young officers making calls above their rank — carries the book. He’s also honest about what Western intelligence was and wasn’t doing in Rwanda while it happened.
