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.
