LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER
Meet Weston Kogi a London supermarket store detective. He returns home to his West African home country for his aunt's funeral. He sees his family his ex-girlfriend Nana his old school mate Church. Food is good beer is plentiful and telling people he works as a homicide detective seems like harmless hyperbole until he wakes up in hell.
He is kidnapped and forced by two separate rebel factions to investigate the murder of a local hero Papa Busi. The solution may tip a country on the brink into civil war.
Making Wolf is the outrageous frightening violent and sometimes surreal homecoming experience of a lifetime.
