Congolese civil war refugee Patrice Thomas, an escaped 'child soldier', is murdered. So was formerly famous investigative reporter Julius Brennan, who won an award for the Thomas story but went mad. The team finds he met with former Congo embassy 'cultural attache" (CIA agent) Ben Hamilton and discovered the allegedly CIA-eliminated war lord Roko Makoni. The latter has a ruthless escape plan, involving car plus shot driver and passenger hijacking and provoking Steve to the extreme, and he's not the only well-prepared fiend.
