Resume du livre

In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur
is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in
ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest
college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole
Pitan-Payne<strong>--</strong>the life of every party<strong>-- </strong>who is about to
assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York. It now
seems that someone is determined that he not make it there. Neither Dr.
Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, how powerful.<br> <em>Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth</em>
is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing
indictment of Nigeria's political elite. It is a stirring call to arms
against the abuse of power from one of that country's fiercest political
activists, who just happens to be a global literary giant.
