Synopsis "Yibuti (in Spanish)"

Dara Barr, una afamada directora de documentales, se traslada al Cuerno de África, donde la aguarda su cámara y viejo lobo de mar, Xavier LeBo. Su objetivo es realizar un documental sobre los continuos actos de piratería que se producen en aguas de Somalia. Pero en Yibuti nada es lo que parece ni nadie es lo que dice ser. Poco a poco, Dara y Xavier se irán viendo enredados en una peligrosa trama que tiene por objetivo llevar a cabo un atentado de enormes dimensiones. Las imágenes que han rodado, piensan, podrían convertirse en un largometraje con actores que culmine sus carreras, pero también podrían costarles la vida. Acción vertiginosa, diálogos verosímiles y fluidos, y personajes tan peculiares e inolvidables como sus novelas son el sello de las novelas del maestro Elmore Leonard.
