Spruce Avenue by Mutendei Writes
In Spruce Avenue, crime crosses generations, connected by seemingly random events that rupture the stability of a town’s history and future simultaneously. Sergeant Drake, as a law officer and troubled family man, must act to ensure peace and order, while in direct conflict with the present and sins of his past.
Sins that have spawned a brand new generation of troublemakers fostering an unexpected rise in local crime, manifested by the actions of a dangerous trio that he has both unknown and unresolved connections to.
As he acts on the new infestation of criminality, a darkness in the sheen of town’s society, a decades old lie, created by hate and many juvenile mistakes at the centre of a tragic societal and familial upheaval, threatens to unravel everything he has worked for and plunge Spruce Avenue back into the trauma of its almost forgotten, long ago dark days where crime ran rampant.

Before Our Eyes
A young woman’s body is found, half dressed, six stab wounds. Her killer’s mission is as
ideological as it is brutal, and his plan hinges on a little bird singing his message to the masses.
Malkia Kadzo is not afraid of using her voice to spark national conversation. It is why she got
into radio. Suddenly, her platform becomes the stage for a battle she never chose.
Detective Zala Maathai is called in to untangle the case. The deeper she digs, the clearer it
becomes that this is no ordinary killing. Every clue is designed to provoke a nation already
divided over power, gender and morality.
As Zala races against time to stop a man who believes murder is a path to redemption, Malkia
must confront the weight of being both a target and a voice, and a question hangs over the
country: What does a society owes its women.

BIZARRE CIVILISATION
About this book
Every day, Nuru serves coffee to strangers in a city that has learned how to look away.
When rent hikes push struggling tenants to the edge, a gentle caretaker becomes the target of their anger. At work, wealthy customers complain about cold coffee while news of missing children flickers across television screens unnoticed. Around her, suffering is everywhere—yet life continues as though nothing has happened.
As Nuru navigates the crowded streets of Nairobi, she begins to question the stories society tells itself about progress, morality, and civilisation. Why do ordinary people become cruel? Why does injustice become routine? Why do we remember some tragedies and forget others? And if humanity has come so far, why does so much suffering remain unchanged?
Through sharp observation, dark humour, and unflinching honesty, Bizarre Civilisation explores violence, compassion, power, poverty, memory, and the quiet choices that shape who we become.
