About the book
‘Every hitman knows not to seek a moral angle while taking out a target. But then I was to kill a clergyman. A Pentecostal pastor, actually. They called him Pastor Tim Cletus.’
In the heart of Johannesburg, where crime and intrigue intertwine, Nollywood actor Uche Mbadiegwu finds himself entangled in a dangerous game of survival. After narrowly escaping trouble in Brazil, Uche’s path crosses with Professor Bern Steyn, a renowned criminologist delving into the world of Czech criminal Radovan Krejčíř. Meanwhile, the enigmatic businesswoman Huan Lin Zhang and the elusive Chuma Mpiga from the Department of Home Affairs meet clandestinely at Mongkok Chinese Restaurant, setting the stage for a web of deceit and power plays.
Amidst this chaos, Tim Cletus, the self-proclaimed Nigerian pastor and racketeer, emerges as a formidable force, trafficking women and spreading his influence. Uche, caught in the midst of conflicting interests, finds himself hired by the Chinese to eliminate Cletus and by Indian loan sharks to enforce brutal debt collection. As Uche navigates the treacherous landscape of Johannesburg, he must outwit ruthless adversaries to survive. Will he emerge unscathed, or will the shadows of the underworld consume him?
