Description
A gripping continuation of the novel “The Blades of Captain Benfica”
Vadim Fefilov is a well-known reporter-documentarian who has been practically in all zones of military conflicts—from Yugoslavia to Iraq.
Benfica, the daughter of an Arab sheikh and an officer in counterintelligence, goes to Mali to investigate the murder of her mother. The heroine has to operate within a rebel unit fighting against French occupying forces, local Islamists, and various gangs in the north of the Sahara. All in order to learn: who sent the killer to her home many years ago.
“In January 2013, my partner and I were looking for the library of ancient manuscripts in Mali. First the menus in French disappeared from roadside cafés, then the cafés themselves—those shabby little places too. To avoid being hit by a multi-purpose fighter at some point we had to secure a ‘PRESSE’ stretcher on the jeep roof. We found ourselves in the epicenter of the military events of modern Francafrica. The novel ‘Shadows of Mali’ is the author’s version of these events.” Vadim Fefilov
