419 | Will Ferguson
9 posts | 14 read | 12 to read
Will Ferguson takes readers deep into the labyrinth of lies that is "419," the worlds most insidious Internet scam. A car tumbles through darkness down a snowy ravine. A woman without a name walks out of a dust storm in sub-Saharan Africa. And in the seething heat of Lagos City, a criminal cartel scours the Internet, looking for victims. Lives intersect. Worlds collide. And it all begins with a single email: "Dear Sir, I am the daughter of a Nigerian diplomat, and I need your help" When Laura Curtis, a lonely editor in a cold northern city, discovers that her father has died because of one such swindle, she sets out to track downand cornerher fathers killer. It is a dangerous game shes playing, however, and the stakes are higher than she can ever imagine. Woven into Lauras journey is a mysterious woman from the African Sahel with scars etched into her skin and a young man who finds himself caught up in a web of violence and deceit. And running through it, a dying fathers final words: "You, I love."

I'm posting one book per day from the ever growing unread stacks in my personal library. No description or explanation, just books I own and plan to read. #tbr

I don't normally like to bail on a book once I've started it, but this audio is not holding my attention at all. If it wasn't so long I'd just suck it up, but time to move on.

Continuing to grab a couple minutes for me when I can. State of Mind seemed an appropriate choice for today...

PS: this book is even better than expected. Weaving through stories like the stands of a net. It's closing in on someone, something... but who? what?

My house has been taken over by children. My niece and nephew are staying with us for five days, plus of course my two little ones. They arrived on Friday. Overnight my husband developed an AWFUL flu, so all weekend was just me taking care of everyone. I'm exhausted. So, while the littlest one naps I'm letting the others play video games and watch tv so that I can grab a few moments of me time. I love them all, but I can't wait until Wednesday!!!

Mdargusch Good luck. 🍀 7y

Izai.Amorim And what is the worst a parent can hear after trying hard to please the kids? "Again! One more time! Please!"? 7y

#bookface #readjanuary I haven't read this one yet. Maybe I'll get to it this year. Have any of you read it? @RealLifeReading

TheKidUpstairs Did you ever get around to reading this one? I'm just about finished, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like it! 7y
brilliantglow @TheKidUpstairs no I haven't! I wanted to finished up my reading challenges for this year first! (Only a couple left now) 7y
