The Certain Guilt of an Innocent Man

The Certain Guilt of an Innocent Man – a thriller set in West Africa and in The British Museum, London – is the compelling story of a modern African committed to the creation of a new order, whatever the sacrifice.

When recently qualified archaeologist Gideon Muntari returns to his native Kamoya after studying in England, he finds he cannot stand by while the vicious military dictator plunders the nation’s resources and tortures his countrymen. He joins a group of disaffected colonels in an attempted coup, but they are betrayed.

Gideon blames himself when his friend Stephen Oruma is abducted, and risks everything to find him. He parries with the intellectual and devious Colonel Sabah, comes up against the brutal Major Mensah, and attracts the attention of the ruthless President, General Abuchi.

The Certain Guilt of an Innocent Man is a thriller but also a love story, a tale of loss and suffering as well as hope and courage.
