Revenge entwines global webs of deceit.

"419" might resonate with you if you're intrigued by the complexities of human motives and the dark web of global scams. Ferguson crafts a narrative that's not only a search for retribution but also a profound exploration of morality and the consequences of our choices. The convergence of lives across continents highlights our interconnected world, adding a layer of depth to the pulsating storyline.

Description

How far would you go for revenge? A car tumbles through darkness down a snowy ravine. A woman without a name walks out of a dust storm in 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 one woman's desire to take revenge on the conmen that killed her father. At once a thriller about a lonely woman trying to reclaim her father's memory and a stunning novel of moral ambiguity, uncertainty, and corruption. Will Ferguson's Giller Prize-winning novel plunges into the labyrinth of lies that is '419,' the world's most insidious scam.
