About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Scobie, a police officer serving in a war-time West African state, is distrusted, being scrupulously honest and immune to bribery. But then he falls in love, and in doing so he is forced to betray everything he believes in, with drastic and tragic consequences.

Well written book. Well read by narrator. A tragic story filled with temptations and doubts. I appreciate it, but it's not for everyone.
