书籍简介

在非洲的小共和国金贾，英国外交官摩根-莱菲在他的工作中笨拙地行事。他喜欢女人，喜欢喝酒，厌恶这个国家，这些都是他通往成功之路上的巨大障碍。但是，当他成为 "金主行动 "的一名特工，并负责监视金亚杰全国选举中的引领者时，摩根感觉到有机会获得真正的职业认可，更重要的是，重新分配工作。

在他发现自己被勒索、被诊断出患有性病、试图贿赂并被一具尸体迷惑之后，摩根意识到很少有事情是按计划进行的。

In the small African republic of Kinjanja, British diplomat Morgan Leafy bumbles heavily through his job. His love of women, his fondness for drink, and his loathing for the country prove formidable obstacles on his road to any kind of success. But when he becomes an operative in Operation Kingpin and is charged with monitoring the front runner in Kinjanja's national elections, Morgan senses an opportunity to achieve real professional recognition and, more importantly, reassignment.

After he finds himself being blackmailed, diagnosed with a venereal disease, attempting bribery, and confounded with a dead body, Morgan realizes that very little is going according to plan.
