42. Lords of Corruption, by Kyle Mills
Ex-con Josh Hagarty is recruited by an obscure charity, New Africa, to manage their activities in a war-torn African nation. It soon becomes apparent, though, that the "charity" is not what it seems.
This was an engaging story, although the attitudes toward Africa and Africans were often disturbing. The idea of a charity being a front for criminal operations wasn't unbelievable. (How many fake charities pop up after every disaster, trying to separate sympathetic people from their money?) Overall, a decent read.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
