From internationally bestselling travel writer Will Ferguson, author of "Happiness " and "Spanish Fly," comes a novel both epic in its sweep and intimate in its portrayal of human endurance.

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.

Will Ferguson takes readers deep into the labyrinth of lies that is 419, the world s most insidious Internet scam.
