When schoolgirls begin to disappear on the West African coast, troubleshooter Bruce Medway tries to remain detached. Meanwhile, he reluctantly acquires a new job from former nemesis and mafia capo Franconelli. Franconelli gives Bruce forty-eight hours to find a French trader, Mariner, whom not even the mafia has been able to track. Yet as Bruce sets out on his assignment, he is unable to remain disconnected from the mysterious schoolgirl disappearances, and finds that girls, gold, and greed are all interconnected; corruption abounds everywhere. There are no safe havens for Bruce in this situation, and he must devise a scam that risks everything in order to stay alive.

A brilliant follow-up to Blood is Dirt, and the fourth novel in the Bruce Medway series, A Darkening Stain takes Bruce Medway into the darkest territory of West Africa yet.

Nice watch
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone, Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Decent brand. Decently priced and nice size. Fits my wrist with no issues. Well made. The band does not look like it can be changed out but that is not an issue. Purple & chrome 33mm resin case with magenta accents; acrylic lens; gray digital display; Indiglo light-up watch dial, is the listing for what is is made from. It was easy to set up with all the necessary information. Will make a nice work watch. Decent brightness wehn hitting the button to light it up. The numbers light up nicely.

Large time, date, and day of the week, with indiglo too! But band doesn't hold up.
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
I am used to keeping my watch on all the time, so always buy “water resistant” ones. This one seems to be holding up well to using in the shower, but time will tell — I’ve only had it a month and a half so far. [My last 3 (one a Casio; two different Timexes) stopped working after a year or two, and either you couldn’t change the battery or it didn't help for long.] It’s not overly big / i.e. feminine enough, yet easy to read with my older eyes. I like the rose gold, fleshy pink color, and the strap works great - no links to remove or stretch to find difficult to get over my fist, and it doesn’t roll so much to my pinky side that I can’t see it when I rotate my wrist to see the time or date (like my last . The indiglo works well too. I’m very happy with it! I will update my review if it doesn’t last long. Update: I love this watch, as it matches my skin color pretty well (which makes it less obtrusive) and is waterproof. I've gone through two of them now, though. Each only lasted 9 months, but the watches themselves were still working. I was doing chores involved with taking care of my goats, and ripped the area where the watchband attaches to the watch, and unfortunately, that rip keeps the pin from securing. Nevertheless, I might buy one again. My husband says it's the nicest one I've had and is okay with buying a new one every 9 months. Picture of the small rip on the right side.

Nice Simple Watch
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
Nice simple watch. Bought it for my 11-year-old daughter so she can keep time while running. Her wrist is 5 inches, and the watch tightens up enough on her wrist for a decent fit. She is able to use the watch easily. Note, no directions on how to set up, but I as able to figure it out. Recommend 5 stars.

Very good watch
Color: White/Chrome-tone
Was a gift for my girlfriend. I even liked it has a mode for two different times sets. The strap does get dirty fast. But its really useful this watch and very good in estetics.
