Sylvie's Story: A Timothy O'Mahony Novella

Sylvie is on the run from the men of the Congolese dictator who killed her father and raped her mother. The only way she can survive in Pointe Noire is by selling her body under a false name to hard-bitten oil company men she attracts in nightclubs, discoth?ques and bars. She knows that if she can leave the Congo she has the education and good looks to make a success of herself and earn enough money to get her mother and sisters out of the Country before they are discovered by the Cobras, one of the Dictator's militias. The Dictator's men control all the borders. They will do everything possible to kill her before she can leave the country. One night she is picked up by a wealthy Frenchman who offers her a job in France and who takes care of all of the paperwork. The first few months of her new life as a highly-paid escort working mainly for French arms industry executives and their clients are too good to be true. When she meets a politician who used to know her father she thinks he will help her, but he puts her in a situation as bad as if she was in the sights of the Cobras.
