Morgan Leafy isn't overburdened with worldly success. Actually, he is refreshingly free from it. But then, as a representative of Her Britannic Majesty in tropical Kinjanja, it was not very constructive of him to get involved in wholesale bribery. Nor was it exactly oiling his way up the ladder to hunt down the improbably pointed breasts of his boss's daughter when officially banned from horizontal delights by a nasty dose ... Falling back on his deep-laid reserves of misanthropy and guile, Morgan has to fight off the sea of humiliation,...

Unser Mann in Afrika
ISBN: 9783311150947 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der Brite Morgan Leafy ist Botschaftssekretär Ihrer Majestät im westafrikanischen Kinjanja. Er soll die kulturelle Souveränität der ehemaligen Kolonialherren repräsentieren, ist allerdings nicht gerade ein diplomatisches Naturtalent. Seine Schwäche für schöne Frauen, übermäßiger Alkoholkonsum und die Abneigung dem Land gegenüber erschweren ihm den Job. Hoffnungslos verfängt er sich in den Fallstricken der korrupten Lokalpolitik, und die zarte Romanze mit Priscilla, der Tochter seines Chefs, endet, bevor sie angefangen hat. Als dann noch eine Leiche auftaucht, die er partout nicht...
