Kinshasa is an inviting place. With petrol in short supply in DRC\u2019s capital, he and his sidekick pursue a plot to get hold of a secret cache \u2013 barrels of fuel they can sell for a huge profit. Of course they\u2019re not the only ones who want the stuff. Cesar is a ruthless, sharply dressed foreigner thriving in Kinshasa\u2019s lawless streets. A female military officer joins the fray. Even the church will betray its tenets for a piece of the action. But Riva\u2019s main nemesis is Azor, a crime boss in the classic style: big, decadent and brutal. He\u2019s not a man to mess with, but his girlfriend, Nora, may just be the most seductive woman in all of DRC. Riva catches sight of her dancing at a nightclub and it\u2019s not long before Nora matches the fuel cache as a coveted object of his lust.<\/div>\n<p><span>Do you have a story\/gist for publication?
