It Ends With Knight, Angoe - B+
Nena has been promoted to head of Dispatch and taken out of field ops. She and a team are sent to Tanzania to observe negotiations among the government, the locals on whose land minerals have been found, and a rapacious US mining company. Complicating matters is the fact that the wife of the mining company's CEO is a woman, Bridget, who had trafficked Nena two decades ago. Matters spin out of control after an accident at the mine, the murder of the PM and the kidnapping of the PM's niece. Nena's team extracts the nine year old niece, and realizes that the mining CEO is behind it all. The Tribe team pulls off protecting the innocent and offering up the American to the authorities. This is, unfortunately, the third in the trilogy. Yes, the bad guys are almost always caricatures, and Nena's ability to 'dispatch' people with panache and every conceivable type of weapon adds up to a predictability that is far from great literature. But it's fun.
