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.

The story
Agnes Ochigbo — beautiful, laidback, small-town girl — is on the verge of ending her abusive relationship with Rogers when a serial killer begins the prowl for attractive young women in the quiet dusty town of Samaru, garroting them. The hazy harmattan twilight now holds sinister secrets.
In the tense atmosphere that envelops the mist-covered town, romance blossoms in the hearts of Dayo and Alma, both men vying for Agnes’ attention. She chooses and love prevails. But is love enough to cover the multitudes of sins glaring the town’s residents in the face as the search for the killer continues? Will the police find the garroter before more bodies appear, or will the garroter get away with murder time and time again?
