An Immaculate Figure

An Immaculate Figure is the story of the guileless model and 'good girl' Rosandra White who is successively drawn into the orbit of three powerful men: her uncle the wheeler-dealer Bass, the arms trader Michaelis and the revolutionary Ahmed. This gripping and intriguing tale of international gun-running, glamour and innocence probes the moral costs of neutrality at times when taking no position offers dangerous rewards. A 'clever book in a politically hopeless age' (The Guardian). 'Remarkable restraint and subtlety' (West Africa).
