When Josh Hagarty interviewed for employment with New Africa, a U.S. charitable organization purporting to manage various foreign aid projects, little did he know that in reality this so-called focused charity was in fact connected to some very nasty accomplices including an American con man, a Russian Mafia thug and the country’s brutal dictator Umbito Mtitsi.

Kyle Mills’ protagonist in his latest novel, Lords of Corruption may have been very qualified with his engineering and master of business administration degrees; however, he still had great difficulty in securing employment owing to his armed robbery conviction when he was a young lad. And even though he was fully rehabilitated, prospective employers were not too keen on giving him a break, until Stephen Trent of the non-profit organization New Africa discovered him through an Internet search. Trent was well aware of Hagarty’s criminal background, however, this made him all the more attractive in view of the kind of business the company was involved in.

Initially, Hagarty was reticent in accepting forty thousand dollars a year to work in Africa, which, as his research indicated, was quite a dangerous neighborhood. However, when Trent agreed to pay for Hagarty’s sister’s college education, (Hagarty was very close to his young sister and felt responsible for her), the deal was sealed.  Trent explained to Hagarty that the African country he would be sent to was basically split into three sections. In the North there was the Xhisa tribe that had a strong majority and it was here where there was some very profitable mining. The South had the Yvimbo tribe with a weak majority and where there was a fair amount of tribal violence and rebel activity. The middle section, where Hagarty would be working is where you have many refugees escaping the fighting from the South. According to Trent, New Africa was involved in getting the people out of the refugee camps and back to productive lives.

Unfortunately, as Hagarty was to learn, nothing could have been further than the truth and in essence New Africa turns out to be a huge scam whose principal function was to line the pockets of some of the most atrocious characters that think nothing of plundering foreign aid and murdering anyone who gets in their way. Much of Hagarty’s unearthing is derived with the help of an American journalist, JB Flannery whose brother is a New York Times editor. Hagarty also befriends a beautiful Scandinavian aid worker, Annika Gritdal and the two involve themselves in some very dangerous escapades in their attempt to expose the hidden secrets and the billion dollar conspiracy of New Africa. The result of all of this is a rivet-you-to-your-seat narrative with captivating characters that will win your attention and hold it. In addition, Lords of Corruption will also probably awaken your curiosity questioning the manner in which foreign aid is distributed in Africa and if there is some truth to Mill’s background material presented in the novel. The answers may not be what you expect.

Kyle Mills is the New York Times bestselling author of nine books, including Darkness Falls and The Second Horseman.
