QUICK DELIVERY
Swift dispatch
1st Day of Forty by Juma Namlola
He lied to his wife about where he was going. By the end of the weekend, he was a murder suspect.
James Kenge tells his wife, Sandra, that he is going to Naivasha for a three-day work assignment. Instead, he boards the SGR train to Mombasa with Esther, a woman he has known online for three months.
Kenge and Esther are looking forward to a weekend together in Nyali. But after an argument, Kenge leaves their Airbnb apartment to cool down. When he returns later that night, Esther is dead, a kitchen knife lying on her body.
Kenge has a great deal to explain. He lied to his wife, kept the affair secret and was the last known person to be with Esther before her death. The police have reason to suspect him, and his arrest exposes his private life to public scrutiny.
Back in Nairobi, Sandra must confront the consequences of her husband's betrayal. His actions have put their family, their finances and the life she has worked hard to build at risk. She has no intention of forgiving him simply because he may be innocent of murder. But neither does she want to accept an answer without knowing the facts.
She hires private investigator Ben Chale to examine the case independently. As Ben investigates Esther's final hours, he encounters unanswered questions, conflicting accounts and people whose connections to the dead woman deserve closer attention.
Did Kenge commit murder, or has the investigation overlooked something that changes everything?
1st Day of Forty is a crime thriller about infidelity, murder and the search for the truth behind a death that changes several lives.

The Eye of Mayenga by Jaspher Rori
The Eye of Mayenga is a heart-throbbing novel centred in a remote, rural African village of Mayenga. The village is a lethargic place that appears to have been left behind with respect to world trends and realities. Its residents seem trapped in times gone, dwelling on beliefs like witchcraft and other archaic practices. There seems to be neither vision nor mission, and stuck in antiquated beliefs. Its residents' pastime is drinking cheap illicit liquor, and engaging in pessimistic village gossip, which presents its own challenges. Their own son, Vincent Senta, a practising lawyer in Nairobi, 'sees with his heart' the predicament of the village, and resolves to apply his knowledge, skills and connections to bring change to the village. He successfully organises a women's group and initiates an eye-catching water project, which some people appreciate and see him as the "Eye of Mayenga." However, petty gossip and a troubled family life take their toll on him. To escape the harsh reality, he finds solace in his sentimental secretary. The relationship is ill-fated with him testing HIV-positive of which he eventually dies. Despite the medical exposition on the cause of death, blame is squarely placed on his hard-to-understand neighbours who, due to their religious beliefs, lead lives of solitude. Most residents of Mayenga believe he has been bewitched by the neighbours. In a "revenge mission", the neighbours are burnt alive in broad daylight right in the presence of the local chief. Though rumours were rife that these neighbours carried the cross of Senta's death, nobody had answers to the chief's torrential questions: Who? When? Why? What? How? And what and in the future? And future? The Eye of Mayenga captures a community at a cross-road and illustrates the clash of cultures and the struggle between the past and modernity.
"The Eye of Mayenga is a wonderful piece of art that touches on many aspects of our lives. It tackles contemporary issues of the developing world undergoing social change.These are issues that offer challenges to development." - Elijah Ogoti, English Teacher, Kenya.
"Apart from being an excellent story to read, it is a commendable book for students in community development." - Joseph A. Awino, Lecturer, University of Nairobi, Kenya.
"Jaspher Rori's work is a pretty juicy, practical, and interesting story that is set in a traditional African society, and is interwoven with unique practical challenges, exciting themes and characters that leave the reader yearning for more." - Sakaja Yona, Lecturer, University of Nairobi.

Call Me by Your Name
Brief Summary
Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them.
What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.
The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.

I AM NOT A HURT WOMAN
Behind every smile is a story that the world never really sees, not the whole
thing anyway.
Inside these pages there are voices of women walking through betrayal, body
shaming, motherhood, widowhood, menopause, abuse, and those impossible
expectations, plus the quiet, heavy burdens they manage each day. Every
account feels like a nudge that pain can stay tucked behind normal-looking
faces, and that resilience is not always in never stumbling; it can be in the brave
moment when you decide to stand up again.
This collection is raw, emotional, and honestly hard to look at in the best way; it
pushes back on the talks society has dodged for far, far too long. It also feels
like a tribute to every woman who has ever doubted her own value, held more
than she should have, and still somehow kept moving.
So yes, every scar tells a story, and every story really deserves a hearing, not
just silence in the background.
THE HOUSEKEEPER’S LIE
The Teaser
I am the invisible girl.
I polish the Sterlings' silver. I fluff their pillows. I scrub the stains from their expensive white rugs. To Julian Sterling, I am a broken thing—a housekeeper with "missing hours" and a fragile mind he needs to protect. He thinks he’s gaslighting me into believing I’m a monster to keep me under his thumb.
He’s half right.
I’m not the victim in this house. I’m the architect.
Every "blackout" is a performance. Every "accident" is a trap. I’ve been waiting ten years to get inside this house, and now that I’m here, I’m going to make sure the Sterlings destroy each other before they even realize I’m the one holding the matches.
In this house, the help doesn’t just clean up the mess. She creates it.
