Four Degrees North: Confronting Terror in Central Africa, (Paperback)

Alan Burke accepts his first assignment with the U.S. State Department and travels to Africa. His wife, Mona, plans to join him in Cameroon after she finishes an assignment in Nigeria for her U.S. law firm. Mona is forcefully abducted and held hostage by Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group. Alan, frustrated by the inability of the various governments to assist his wife, acts on his own. In defiance of protocol, he crosses the Cameroon-Nigeria border to track the terrorists. He is aided by Eric Mbando, a Cameroonian, who risks his life for righteousness and justice.

This thrilling adventure portrays the ugliness and brutality of Boko Haram, which was once labeled the World's deadliest terrorist group. Although the story is fiction, the author hopes to paint a realistic picture of the beauties and blemishes of two African countries.
