DON’T YOU RUN
A Novelette
He always watched them. They were his victims …
BROKEN HEARTS:
It’s Christmas, and Paige Mwangi is still a heartbreaker. Boys at school have always loved her, but they never could get to her. She has always played the role of the spoiled, rich, beautiful girl. Then, the worst happened last year when a close friend offered her up to a gang of school boys. She changed schools and started a new life, but the worst still followed her.
THE CREEPER:
Her lure crosses paths with a dangerous serial killer and rapist. A serial Predator.
Through Paige’s father’s company, her laptop and devices are hacked. This man is able to watch her remotely because that is exactly how he observes his targets before striking.
INVESTIGATIONS:
Vic is able to find out that some tools, tactics, techniques, and procedures used inside Paige’s father’s company are not just from a local African Financial Threat, but another threat actor is inside their systems and is targeting both Paige’s laptop and her father’s. The killer is much more brilliant and uses sophisticated tooling. After this killer targets Paige, the next thing left is he kidnaps her just like he did with the other girls. But he is escalating on his hunts and kills.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT:
He doesn’t keep a girl for more than three days. He will ask for some payment, which is usually a ruse because he eventually doesn’t honor it. Vic and his partners have to help the DCI reach her and rescue her, but time is running out. None of the victims survived so far. None of them returned home.

Beyond Viral by Gichuki Jonia
Kenya is breaking …
After a wave of disappearances, abductions, and brutal crackdowns on young protesters, the country is learning a terrifying truth: some governments fear their youth more than their enemies.
When Emily Kirui, an activist, dreamer, sister — is abducted and murdered, the official story arrives quickly: criminal networks, bad company, unfortunate circumstances.
Her sister doesn’t believe a word of it …
Angie Kirui is a lawyer with a military upbringing, a mind built for strategy, and grief sharp enough to split a life in half. When the justice system fails, she turns to something older and more dangerous: vengeance.
One politician falls …
Then another target emerges.
But revenge has consequences.
Inside Kenya’s intelligence system, Trevor Thiong’o is already drowning in the machinery of a government spiraling toward paranoia — foreign influence operations, covert surveillance, cyber manipulation, and a security state increasingly willing to turn its weapons inward.
As the country edges toward unrest, Angie and Trevor are pulled into a collision course neither of them sees coming.
Because some wounds don’t heal.
They radicalize.
And some nations don’t collapse all at once.
They bleed.
A razor-sharp political thriller about grief, power, corruption, and the terrifying cost of justice in a country at war with itself.

Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiongo
Brief Summary
From the exiled Kenyan novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic--a magisterial comic novel that is certain to take its place as a landmark of postcolonial African literature. In exile now for more than twenty years, Ngugi wa Thiongo has become one of the most widely read African writers of our time, the power and scope of his work garnering him international attention and praise.
His aim in Wizard of the Crow is, in his own words, nothing less than "to sum up Africa of the twentieth century in the context of two thousand years of world history.” Commencing in "our times” and set in the "Free Republic of Aburiria,” the novel dramatizes with corrosive humor and keenness of observation a battle for control of the souls of the Aburirian people. Among the contenders: His High Mighty Excellency; the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank.
Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Wizard of the Crow reveals humanity in all its endlessly surprising complexity. Informed by richly enigmatic traditional African storytelling, Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece, the crowning achievement in Ngugl wa Thiongo’s career thus far.

With their search and rescue now a fight for their lives, it'll take a miracle for this group of friends to succeed, but Eli knows they have no other choice.

The perfect nine: the epic of Gikuyu and Mumbi by Ngugi wa Thiongo
Brief Summary
A dazzling, genre-defying novel in verse, from the author Delia Owens says “tackles the absurdities, injustices, and corruption of a continent”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s novels and memoirs have received glowing praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, the New Yorker, the New York Times Book Review, The Guardian, and NPR; he has been a finalist for the Man International Booker Prize and is annually tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature; and his books have sold tens of thousands of copies around the world.
In his first attempt at the epic form, Ngũgĩ tells the story of the founding of the Gĩkũyũ people of Kenya, from a strongly feminist perspective. A verse narrative, blending folklore, mythology, adventure, and allegory, The Perfect Nine chronicles the efforts the Gĩkũyũ founders make to find partners for their ten beautiful daughters—called “The Perfect Nine” —and the challenges they set for the 99 suitors who seek their hands in marriage. The epic has all the elements of adventure, with suspense, danger, humor, and sacrifice.
Ngũgĩ’s epic is a quest for the beautiful as an ideal of living, as the motive force behind migrations of African peoples. He notes, “The epic came to me one night as a revelation of ideals of quest, courage, perseverance, unity, family; and the sense of the divine, in human struggles with nature and nurture.”
