The hanged man of Conakry
Rufin, Jean-Christophe
The hanged man of Conakry / Jean-Christophe Rufin - New York : Europa Editions , 2022 - 203 p. : 21 cm
Aurel Timescu's French is tinged with a Romanian accent, he has the disheveled air of a character from between the wars, and a past as a performer in piano bars. Nobody can quite understand how he got to be Consul. Now, he's taken a position in French Guinea - what a place for a man who says he can't stand the heat! He passes his time perspiring, drinking gallons of Tokay, and composing librettos. Until, that is, a vacationer is found hanging from the mast of a sailboat. How did he end up dead, on a mast, on Aurel Timescu's watch?
