  Max Donovan, a man who uses his knowledge of far-flung corners of the earth and a fair bit of muscle to "fix things," is relaxing by the sea in Senegal. 
   
   
   
  But his much-needed holiday after a botched operation in Malaysia, where he broke more than he fixed, is abruptly interrupted when a man is knifed on the beach.

  His adversary is a hitman who has traveled to Senegal to fix a few things of his own. No stranger to danger, he is closing in for another kill. 
   
   
   
  The thrilling game of cat-and-mouse that ensues leaves the busy markets and bars of Dakar and heads into tropical forests and arid savannah, where poachers, smugglers, crocs, and lions, are all waiting to pounce. 
   
   
   
  Will Donovan get his man or has he met his match?
