The Nigerian Connection Angelo Amabile

Be aware of the voice on the other end of the line that promises you riches beyond your dreams on the way to Shangri-La. The Nigerian Connection follows an Italian immigrant, named Enzo Segnan, as he gets caught up with some of the most conniving forgers and criminals in the world. The plot unfolds as Enzo is lured by a letter from the Nigerian Crime syndicate promising an easy 18-million dollars if he allows 50-million dollars to be transferred into his account. Enzo realizes this must be a scam and despite pleadings from the FBI, lets his curiosity get the best of him, and accepts the offer. His chase for the money promised to him, and for his kidnapped secretary (and lover), leads him on a whirlwind adventure. As he falls deeper into the Crime Syndicate''s trap, he is robbed of thousands of dollars, and travels all over Canada and Europe in search of his money and secretary. In the end, Enzo learns even the people close to you are capable of deception - in this case, that person is his secretary. Only, she too falls victim to the Crime Syndicate, and unlike Enzo, does not escape alive. In addition to this tale of adventure, there is a second story that takes shape, a love story. Just when it appears the novel will close with Enzo at his lowest point, he emerges at his highest - in love and married to a woman he meets, when he least expects it.
