In this modern thriller about one of the most brutal tales of
revenge ever told, SLMN returns against a backdrop of sex workers,
cocaine traffickers and West African cults.
In a war for survival two opposing syndicates find themselves locked
in a faceless war. The cost is high, the price paid in blood.
Enemies everywhere. There are the Onisagbe, or widow makers, whose
claim to these streets dates back to the time when the city's first
foundation stones were laid. Led by Sol Danjuma, they've ruled over
Freetown for generations. Then there's Awon Woli, a group of
Liberians from over the border in Monrovia who have established a
stronghold in the area after fleeing their homeland during the civil
unrest.What started out as a love ends with a corpse being dumped from a
battered old truck with a busted tail light at the gates of the Amon
Woli stronghold--a message that can't be ignored. Honor demands a life
for a life. Who killed their boy? He'd been out. He had a new life. He
had a girl. An apartment above a laundromat in Freetown. He had
hope. And now he's dead. In the search for answers, Daudi M'Beki,
one of Awon Woli's lieutenants, goes in search of the girl who stole his
friend's heart, only to mistakenly kidnap the Onisagbe kingpin's
youngest daughter. Danjuma swears to move heaven and earth to bring his
girl home. The only way that's happening is over the corpses of every
last Awọn Woli foot soldier.
