Spared

A thriller by S. Ndunguru, author of A Wreath for Fr. Mayer and Divine Providence. The story unfolds as two Tanzanian officials, Tom and Chris, discuss a forthcoming mission to Sweden. While in Sweden, Linda, daughter of a Swedish billionaire who was in Tom’s company, is abducted. To rescue her, one has to try to please two sharp-shooters hidden in a park and in control of two powerful telescopic rifles. Immense wealth, politics, and terrorism are at play in the corridors of power. An unforgettable thriller, well crafted and well written. Ndunguru’s earlier novels are used as set books for A-levels in Tanzania. For fans of political thrillers with African protagonists, readers interested in Tanzanian fiction that engages global themes, and secondary and post-secondary students studying Tanzanian English-language literature.
