It is 1971 and Nicholas Garrigan, a recent graduate of the medical school at the University of Edinburgh, has arrived in Uganda to work as a Ministry of Health doctor in a bush station.
They are inevitably abetted—or “enabled,” as the current jargon has it—by lackeys like Nicholas Garrigan, whose failure to intervene, Foden implies, is not due to the understandable impulses of apathy or fear, but to a positive, if hardly conscious, impulse of rage.
Foden has created a genuinely interesting character in Nicholas, a man almost entirely unadmirable but for whom the author nevertheless retains a certain affection.

He said: 'This could well prove to be Chester's best win of the season as Driffield never really looked like scoring and they have been on top of their game of late.
The Chester forwards were now well on top and charges from the youthful Aled Davies, Jason Goulding, Mike Davies, Jonny Beckwith and Bob Withers were setting up platforms for their quicker colleagues to exploit weaknesses in the home rearguard.
Following what seemed to be at least 10 phases of keep ball and some really entertaining moves from the lively Chester backline, Ben Foden showed a clean pair of heels once again to dart over for his second try, which King converted.

Like his previous books, its setting is beautiful but abused Africa and its backbone is provided by real events, in this case, prophetically, the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Tanzania by Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaida network.
As with his impressive Idi Amin-centred debut The Last King of Scotland, Foden is interested in exploring the grey area between good and evil.
Their emotional range is further hampered by the fact that Foden equips them with Mall Rat-style--"Man, she looked good", "big way", "the old guy, he was really nice"--American parlance.
