Them: What's Djibouti?
Me: It's Djibouti.
I may have been a bit facetious but it is really tough to explain. It's starts off describing Somali pirates, pivots to becoming an Al Qaeda terrorist plot, then into a classic Leonard Elmore crime novel. All this with documentary filmmakers Dara and Xavier as the heroes. Lots of good Leonard type dialog and characters.
I enjoyed the book. It was good brain candy when I needed a break from dry history and science. I recommend it.
