I'm pretty sure it's Nairobi; the scene occurs right at the beginning of
the book. 'Friday' suffers from a totally goofy ending and the usual
Heinlein-esque oddities, but it's the closest he ever got to cyberpunk,
and a lot more dystopian than most of his stuff. With the caveats I've
mentioned, a very good book.

Lots of FMAS or SG2 inspiration in it, actually. Our heroine is a
martial-arts/weapons expert spy/spec ops type; and there's a couple of
fights & assaults mentioned in enough detail to provide scenario fodder.
