The American mission / Matthew Palmer.
After a devastating experience in Darfur strips Alex Baines, former rising star of the State Department, of his security clearances, he is faced with two choices: spend the rest of his career in visa-stamping limbo or move to the private sector. On the verge of resigning, he receives a call from his old mentor, the American ambassador to the Congo, with an incredible opportunity to start over, restoring both his security clearances and his reputation. But the job proves to be not quite what Alex imagined when he finds a shady U.S.-based mining company everywhere he turns - even within the walls of the embassy. As violence in the political climate escalates, Alex struggles to balance the best interests of the United States with the fate of the Congo and its people. His loyalties are put to the test as he races to determine the right course of action. -- Jacket flap.
