From the author of the national bestseller "A Small Death in Lisbon" and "The Company of Strangers" comes Wilson's compelling first novel, never before available in the United States. Bruce Medway's existence as a fixer and troubleshooter had been tough, but never life-threatening until he crossed paths with the mighty Madame Severnou. His life becomes even more complicated by his search for a missing fellow expat, Steven Kershaw. Against a backdrop of political disruption and endemic official corruption, Medway pursues the elusive phantom of Kershaw.
"Instruments of Darkness" powerfully evokes the atmosphere, politics, and people of West Africa. With Medway's ironic voice, flashes of humor that may recall Raymond Chandler, and unforgettable characters, this compulsively readable thriller is the beginning of a remarkable series.

From the Back Cover:

Benin, West Africa. Englishman Bruce Medway operates as a ‘fixer’ for traders along the part of the coast they used to call the White Man's Grave. It's a tough existence, but Medway can handle it...until he comes across the formidable Madame Severnou. Warned off further involvement by his client, Jack Obuasi, his energies are redirected into the search for missing expat, Steven Kershaw.

Kershaw, though, is a man of mystery: trader, artist, womaniser...and sado-masochist. Against background rumblings of political disturbance, in the face of endemic official corruption, egged on by an enigmatic policeman, Medway pursues his elusive quarry with a doggedness even he cannot explain. But as Medway soon learns, nothing in Africa is what it seems, and those who seek the truth find out more that they wish to know...

“Robert Wilson is a class act”
John Dugdale, 'Sunday Times'

“An atmospheric and absorbing debut”
Val McDermid
