Book Log 2014 #18: A Darkening Stain by Robert Wilson
The last of the books in the Bruce Medway series is also the darkest (hence the title), as our anti-hero gets involved (and helps engineer) a complicated plot involving smuggled gold, human trafficking, police corruption, organized crime, and murder. Medway's involvement, fueled by the inclusion of loved ones, takes him to places he'd previously avoided (figuratively and literally), and by then end forces him to make decisions on his life, his work, his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, and his whole reason for being in Africa in the first place.
It's a fitting end piece for the series, probably the best book of the four. It also reminds me that Wilson's new series, featuring a kidnapping consultant named Charles Boxer, is two books in and I need to get to the first one.
