Produktbeschreibung
A hunt for funds lost in a cunning investment fraud unravels into a murderous battle over cobalt, coltan, and niobium. Nowak, a grumpy, outsider lawyer from Vienna, investigates a scam tied to his childhood friend's bizarre connection to a mine in the Congo, near the border with Rwanda. When he travels to Goma to rescue his friend's business partner-the mine's principal investor-from one of Africäs notorious prisons, events quickly spiral out of control: Initially denied access to the mine, this daring businessman and adventurer is now accused of murdering a senior official. Nowak finds himself in a region plagued by rebel leaders, warlords, and child soldiers, while ordinary people flee civil wars and strive to move on. Amidst this chaos, he soon becomes caught in the crossfire for control of a mine, where foreign investors-backed by corrupt officials and shady consuls-vie for power, and human life holds little value. As he delves deeper into this gripping drama-infused with sharp wit, dark humor, and keen observations about the intricacies of Austrian bureaucracy and the legal profession in general, all inspired by the author's own experiences-Nowak confronts a chilling question: What role did his old friend truly play in this dangerous, deadly game? Christian Schopper is active in international banking and consulting. He also serves as a visiting professor of banking, finance, and capital markets at several universities and management institutes.
