In 2009, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Vincent Zandri traveled to Benin, Africa to report on the work being done on a hospital ship docked at the Port of Cotonou.
During the two week mission, Zandri went into the bush to inspect a new agricultural center being constructed there. A seemingly simple enough assignment. But what he encountered instead was trouble when the 4X4 he and his fixer were driving became hopelessly struck in a swamp.
The rescue that occurred later would come not in the form of EMTs or the fire brigade, but instead a group of voodoo practicing natives.
