Crime, love, politics and survival in the harmattan haze of Samaru.
I am very happy to report that Kobo has published my first novel, A Blitz in the Haze. It is a romance thriller, set in the small quiet town of Samaru — one of the satellite suburbs of the ancient city of Zaria. Crime, love, politics and survival are intertwined to highlight the northern Nigerian flavour of the story.
