    "Danske Dan Borre nyder sit otium i det naturskønne Sydfrankrig. Her slog han sig ned en halv snes år tidligere, da han i sorg og mismod forlod det østafrikanske turistprojekt, han og hustruen havde drevet og grundlagt. Uafhængigt deraf havde han dengang på opfordring af den amerikanske ambassade i Nairobi og grundet sit indgående lokalkendskab udført en hemmelig mission i Somalia. En somalisk terrorgruppe havde i hævnakt krydset grænsen til det nordlige Kenya og forgrebet sig på Dans og hustruens projekt. Hustruen var omkommet i flammerne, og hotellet var delvist nedbrændt.Siden er familievirksomheden blevet bragt på fode. Dog med bestyrelsesformand Dan Borre i den primære rolle som passiv tilskuer fra pensionisttilværelsen i Frankrig.

Arrene er dybe, og skyldfølelsen stor.Sønnen Ken, Generaldirektør i det franske udenrigsministerium i Paris med ansvar for Østafrika og Det Indiske Ocean, føler imidlertid, at tiden er inde til at trække de anselige værdier bundet i det kenyanske projekt tilbage til Europa.Dan lader sig overtale og begiver sig tilbage til stedet med de smertefulde minder for at gennemføre hans og sønnens projekt. Dan må dog hurtigt erkende, at tingene ikke er, som de umiddelbart lader formode, og at han snarere er på vej til at stikke hovedet i en hvepserede.Der er folk, der vil ham ondt. Spørgsmålet er, hvor langt de er villige til at gå for at fuldbyrde deres forehavende?De største forandringer inkluderer Af-industrialiseringen af København, overgangen fra at løfte og bæretungt til container og kran, oprustning af maskiner og nedrustning af arbejdere fra en havn på flere tusinder arbejdere til under 100 i dag, og overenskomst fra løsarbejder til fastansat.Bogen er støttet af Vellux Fonden."
