Daggers in a Teacup

Economic and financial crimes are Nigeria’s greatest problems, stunting growth and development. The anti-corruption commission, in its effort to resolve it, has just invited Siva Okojie, a rising star in the police to be the new arrowhead of its investigations department. The young celebrity gladly accepts the offer, little realizing that his investigations will sweep him across the country and lead him to unexpected targets. He unknowingly chose his closest confidants among the criminal profiles, exposing him, his fiancée and his ward to grave dangers. His revelation will shock the whole world.

Aihebholo-oria Okonoboh quickly found his place among Master Storytellers. With The Homecoming, his first novel, he succeeded in removing himself from the pen of a newcomer. He has shown that he knows what to do and how to do it in his astonishing new title, Daggers in a Teacup. His boldness shone through in this political plot or he would not venture into the intimidating realities of the Nigeria political corruption and havoc. Refusing to succumb to the “Social Gospel” of politics, he is honest on a doomed destiny, jealous, ambitious and fierce about a wasted generation. Nonetheless, his compassion is remarkable in this intelligent epic, observed in his dramatic shift from and reconciliations with nagging hopelessness and sure confidence, a theme sustained in this long but compelling novel, the need for Africa, innocent victims of orchestrated political wastefulness to take control of history and rewrite its destiny. It is meticulously researched, a historical reference and a heritage to readers.
