DCT agent Patrick Emenalo returns to work on the same day there is a bombing at a popular fast food joint in Lagos. Dark Cell, a terrorist group, claims responsibility and demands the release of Red Baron, arms smuggler and crime boss.
Patrick, caught in a game whose rules are set by shadowy crime syndicate, The Orchid, must race against time to stop the terrorists before they strike again.
Fast-paced and seamlessly written, Onyekwena’s debut takes bold steps into the widely uncharted world of organised crime in Lagos.
DB –
Reads like a final year project.
The author wants to be ambitious in a fictionalised Lagos but I end up having a hard time forming any emotional bonds with the lead characters.
Character development is also non existent.
Greatest compliment is that it is a quick read.
